The seminar is part of the project on “Education development for disabled and at-risk students in South-East Europe”, which aims to improve the current situation of special needs education in close co-operation with nine ministries of education in South-East Europe.
Following the recommendations of the country reports, a number of seminars and related activities have been and will be organised for key stakeholders in education: ministry officials, experts, teachers and statisticians.
The seminar on statistics and data collection follows a proposal by country administrators at a meeting in Zagreb in June 2005. It will give the opportunity to ministry administrators and statisticians to become familiar with the main issues, current trends and working methods as used in the OECD member economies and to learn from the Hungarian experience in establishing cross-national categories to identify children with special education needs. Discussion on country specific problems may lead to the identification of micro-projects in order to address country-specific needs and challenges.
The second part of the meeting will involve a discussion of progress and obstacles for the further development of the project. A mid-term plan and timeline will be agreed upon.
