Measure resulting from the project • Follow-up project aims at the development of action plans for addressing social equity and inclusion issues within schools included in initial project (financed with national resources) • The project is led by CYN (Croatian Youth Network) with partner schools • Issues addressed in action plans were related to obstacles to social inclusion identified in initial project
Measures in the pipeline • The issue in social inclusion of vulnerable group has been recognized in the New National Strategy for Education, Science and Technology in the area of: • Curriculum and assessment • Support for pupils • Quality assurance • The strategy does not address issues of VET social equity and inclusion issues in particular. • Erasmus+ starting in 2014 will be oriented toward cross-sectoral cooperation of VET schools, employers, social partners and other stakeholders.
Challenges • Lackof systematic co-operation between VET schools and economic sector • Gaps and overlapping institutional framework within VET • Improvement in career guidance and counseling
