School Education: Proficiency in basic skills

Summary

European policy experimentations are transnational cooperation projects that involve developing, implementing and testing the relevance, effectiveness, potential impact and scalability of activities to address policy priorities in different countries.

By combining strategic leadership, methodological soundness, and a strong European dimension, they enable mutual learning and support evidence-based policy at European level.

Detailed Call Description

Activities under this topic will be guided by the 2022 Council Recommendation on Pathways to School Success which proposes a policy framework, based on a whole-system, whole-school approach perspective, aimed at guiding policy makers and education practitioners. The framework outlines conditions for effective action, key measures, to be promoted at school, local, regional and national levels as well as specific actions for supporting school leaders, teachers, trainers and other educational staff. This framework has been complemented with system-level guidelines drawn up at EU level to guide education authorities on measures with a proven impact on improving basic skills proficiency, focusing on early intervention and individual, tailor-made support .
