Ten National Interim Reports

In June 2008 ten national interim reports were submitted to the European Commission. These are analysed comparatively with regard to seven topical issues in relation to schools and inclusion, namely:

  • Frames and freedom
  • Early school leavers
  • Priority education
  • Inclusive education
  • Safe education
  • Teacher support

The interim reports can be obtained by a click on them below.

TEN COUNTRIES


The ten countries are:


1. France
2. Germany
3. Hongary
4. Italy
5. The Netherlands
6. Poland
7. Slovenia
8. Spain
9. Sweden
10. UK


METHODS


In each country a national team will assess the measures that hold schools, teachers and pupils in these countries together, where possible and feasible and as far as contributing to an optimal educational climate. Measures, policies and context are at points obviously different between the countries. The differences will be the object of comparative analysis and assessment. In that frame attention will also be paid to shared principles and aims, measures and 'good practices'.
The national studies will rely predominantly on the existing knowledge base in the countries.


In the concluding phase of the study we will consult experts in all other EU Member States on their relevant national and local observations and comments.
