Objectives

The purpose of the project "Education Development for Disabled and at Risk Students" is to stimulate and support education reform that will meet the needs of students with disabilities, difficulties and disadvantages and to evaluate progress made so far. This requires a review of the current situation of education provision, systematic gathering of relevant data, the establishment of model schools and the support of teacher training initiatives.

The project aims to:

• Review national education policies for students with special needs along the lines of the legal framework, school organisation, curriculum development, pedagogy, teacher training and available data.
• Support the development, implementation and assessment of action plans to improve the quality of education.
• Develop internationally comparable statistics and indicators to provide a quantitative account of the workings of the provision made for these students.
• Develop capacity in the teaching force mainly through the development of in-service training and support of model schools.
• Disseminate the results throughout the countries through regular meetings of stakeholders and on a regional level.
