The Agency published a position paper which presents Agency member countries’ ultimate vision for inclusive education systems: to ensure that all learners of any age are provided with meaningful, high-quality educational opportunities in their local community, alongside their friends and peers.
This paper presents the Agency's position on the aspiration of all Agency member countries to develop more inclusive education systems. More specifically, it presents the essential features of inclusive education systems that will be used to guide the development and direction of Agency activities in the medium to long term.
As EASNIE reflects on 25 years of work with member countries, its vision for inclusive education systems remains constant:
All learners of any age are provided with meaningful, high-quality educational opportunities in their local community, alongside their friends and peers.

On 16 October 2015 the Luxembourg Presidency of the European Union hosted the Agency’s fourth Hearing entitled ‘Inclusive education: Take action!’. Seventy-two young people with and without disabilities had the opportunity to discuss how their schools and communities ensure an inclusive education for them and what potential obstacles they are still facing in their education and their day-to-day lives.
The Representative Board is our governing body. It is responsible for strategic decision-making relating to our operations, including approving multi-annual and annual work programmes and budgets, thematic work areas and activities. The member countries’ ministries of education appoint the Representative Board members.
The Representative Board elects the Management Board from its members on a rotating basis. The Management Board ensures that plans and decisions are implemented efficiently and effectively.
