On policies and inclusive practices   

Interviews with Snežana Vuković and Tatjana Vuçani

Improved communication and greater co-operation in the region is essential for creating a more inclusive education system on the national and regional levels. This is the impression shared by Snežana Vuković, from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of Serbia and Tatjana Vuçani, from the Ministry of Education and Sports in Albania. 

 
 
 
 

Insight

The PolicyNet has an overarching role in connecting all the components of the project. It is very important for all the beneficiaries, but for "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia” it may be crucial, because of the inter-connection of all of the components – main stakeholders, policy makers, teachers, schools. Although we are all working closely with each other, we are working in parallel.

Peer visit

From learning experience to new partnerships

When seven school teams from the South East Europe (SEE) region went on a study visit to schools of The Greater Region* in March 2014, for what was intended to be a fairly straightforward learning experience, they seem to have sparked the beginning of a new inclusive education partnership that is now developing even further. 

 
 
 
 

Teachers workshop in Pristina

Teacher learning for inclusion: the teachers perspective

Many teachers feel that their voice is not heard when it comes to creating new means to better deal with inclusion, though they are the ones on which these instruments are imposed. That is why the project organized a teachers’ workshop in Pristina, as part of a consulting process on inclusive education.

 
 
 
 
 
 

A step towards improved policies

Regional policymakers identify regional priorities

Members of the PolicyNet working group on secondary education identified priority regional policy recommendations at the meeting of the group in Ljubljana, Slovenia on 16-18 October 2014, based on the suggestions from a Baseline study on inclusive policies and practices.
