TE4I Project Recommendations linked to Sources of Evidence

The project final report makes recommendations presented in two parts. The first set of recommendations directly relate to teacher education and are, therefore, directed mainly towards professionals working in this area. A second set of recommendations is directed towards policy makers who will need to provide a coherent policy framework for managing the wider, systemic change necessary to impact on teacher education for inclusion.

Mapping the Implementation of Policy for Inclusive Education

Policy-makers working in inclusive education need to know what qualitative and quantitative information to collect and the best methods of doing this in order to map the implementation of policies for inclusive education. The goal for the MIPIE project is to provide them with clear proposals on agreed signposts to track progress towards educational inclusion.

Special Needs Education Country Data 2010

The Agency's special needs education (SNE) data collection is a biennial exercise with data provided by the Representatives of the Agency member countries. In all cases, this data is from official ministerial sources. All data refers to pupils officially identified as having special educational needs (SEN), as defined in the country in question. All the data presented in this document has been collected in line with each country’s own legal definition of SEN. These definitions are also provided in the texts.
