Fostering Inclusive Quality Education in Finland and Ireland
A kick-off event took place on 18 January in Dublin, Ireland, to officially start the Fostering Inclusive Quality Education in Finland and Ireland project.
The COVID-19 pandemic showed that digital and inclusive education promote greater system resilience. Organisations that had prepared for inclusive digital education before COVID-19 seemed to fare better in the crisis.
Ensuring resilience is a horizontal task that extends through all levels of the education system. Policy can establish conducive framework conditions and protective factors that make educational organisations more resilient.
Media literacy, data literacy and data-based decision-making are crucial in inclusive digital teaching.
Digitalisation and inclusion are, however, considered separate topics in the early education levels, which causes difficulties.
Teachers still lack digital competences. Initial teacher education and continuing professional development must continuously address this. The ability to use digital technologies, media education and assistive technology is important, but so is the ability to select digital learning content and design inclusive learning environments addressing individual learners’ preferences, competences or skills.
