Agency Support via the Structural Reform Support Programme

The Agency has been approached by the European Commission in order to technically support two activities approved in the frame of the Structural Reform Support Programme (SRSP). Activities have been requested by the ministries of education in Cyprus and Poland. Both are fully funded by the European Commission and by the ministries of education of Poland and Cyprus, and they concern legislative educational changes regarding inclusive education.

Country reports

Information on individual countries' approaches to Raising Achievement are now available online in the form of 22 individual country reports. These reports provide detailed information, collected via the project survey, on the specific legislation, policy and strategies for raising the achievement of all learners in inclusive settings. Many reports also provide practice examples.

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. This has made quality ECE provision a priority concern of policy-makers and international and European organisations such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the European Commission.

Phase 2 - Assessment Dissemination conference

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.
