Online meetings for SRSP work in Cyprus
The Agency organised four online meetings in June 2020 as part of the European Union’s Structural Reform Support Programme (SRSP) Cyprus Phase 2 activities.
The aim of these meetings was twofold: to keep the momentum of the activities in Cyprus in light of the COVID-19 organisational challenges, and to inform the on-going analysis which will lead to the development of recommendations.
TPL4I policy mapping grids
The policy self-review tool was used to map the national teacher professional learning for inclusion (TPL4I) policies of the countries that participated in the project. This was a collaborative process, in which the project team added relevant policy information to the policy self-review tool. This information came from national legislation, regulations, international or European-level reports commenting on national policy, etc. The Agency country representatives verified and updated the information.
