Development of a set of indicators – for inclusive education in Europe
Development of a set of indicators – for inclusive education in Europe presents the main findings of an Agency project involving 23 European countries.
The aim of the project was to develop a methodology that would lead to a set of indicators suitable for monitoring developments at the national level, but that could also be applied at the European level. Such a set of indicators requires a clear focus on the policy conditions that may support or hinder the development of inclusive education within schools. Several European and international institutions have undertaken work in developing indicators in specific policy areas and this project has built upon those experiences to develop indicators in the field of inclusive education.
The project led to two major outcomes:
- Firstly, the development and implementation of a bottom-up approach to identifying relevant indicators. This approach was based on the consensus of the project experts;
- Secondly, specifying an initial set of indicators in three key areas – legislation, participation, financing.
Overall, it has been the intention of the project to develop suitable indicators that support constructive comparisons and mutual learning from good – that is effective and successful – approaches to inclusive education.
This report presents the framework, rationale, aims and objectives of the project, as well as the methodology used to develop the set of indicators for monitoring developments in inclusive education.
The summary report Development of a set of indicators – for inclusive education in Europe is available in up to 21 languages from the Agency website.Download the report in one of the Agency languages.
