Summary
The European Education Area aims to improve access to quality education for all. The strategic framework for the European Education Area set the EU-level target: “The share of low-achieving 15-year-olds in reading, mathematics and science should be less than 15%, by 2030” (Council of the European Union 2021).
The latest data (2022) suggest that the European Union average is much higher than 15% and that pupils from low socio-economic status face a considerably higher risk of low achievement than their peers from high socio-economic background.
Detailed Call Description
The action must enhance interdisciplinary collaborations among researchers in education and engage diverse educational research disciplines from social sciences, the arts and humanities. The action must include the perspectives of policy makers and practitioners who look at similar topics from different angles.
The action should analyse policies in at least one level of education, with a particular focus on transitions from the previous level of education and to the next.
Proposals may choose to analyse and evaluate general measures for all learners or targeted and individualised support in inclusive settings. Involvement of authorities responsible for the education and training policies is essential and should be ensured.
The action should enhance collaborations to improve the access of researchers to administrative data and other types of data, including surveys of children and young people, to develop new research approaches and perspectives. Therefore, close cooperation with authorities and/or other institutions owning the data is essential and should be ensured.
The action should analyse and evaluate policy measures in their context, using a mixed methods approach including qualitative and quantitative methods. Proposals can include an experimental design, using e.g. small, randomized control trials and quasi-experimental methods (such as difference-in-difference or discontinuity designs) to test the effectiveness of specific interventions in different contexts.
