Financing Policies for Inclusive Education Systems: Resourcing Levers to Reduce Disparity in Education

This report provides an analysis and findings relating to inclusive education systems emerging from the Financing Policies for Inclusive Education Systems (FPIES) project (2016–2018).

Inclusive Early Childhood Education: New Insights and Tools – Contributions from a European Study

Evidence shows that quality early childhood education (ECE) can significantly enhance the lifelong learning and future active citizenship of all children.

European Agency Statistics on Inclusive Education: 2014 Dataset Cross-Country Report

The 2014 Dataset Cross-Country Report is based on the first European Agency Statistics on Inclusive Education (EASIE) dataset collected in late 2014, early 2015, focusing upon the school year 2012–2013. The report presents the agreed data from participating countries in a cross-country format that has the potential to directly inform the work of national and European level policy- and decision-makers working in the field of education.

Inclusive Early Childhood Education Environment Self-Reflection Tool

This Self-Reflection Tool was developed as part of the Agency's Inclusive Early Childhood Education (IECE) project, which ran from 2015 to 2017. The project aimed to identify, analyse and subsequently promote the main characteristics of quality IECE for all children. To that end, a need was detected for a tool that all professionals and staff could use to reflect on their setting’s inclusiveness, focusing on the social, learning and physical environment. This tool is intended to help improve settings’ inclusiveness.
