Our new initiatives… National Joint body for monitoring and supporting local intersectoral committees
(ministries for education, health, social protection) – developed M&E framework, electronic data base to be developed soon
Development of methodology for horizontal and peer learning at national level – under discussion
Transformation of special schools and their future functions
Establishing model of Resource centers for assistive technologies and their equipping
Supporting establishment of parents councils at local level Searching solution for sustainable support to inclusive education (pro-poor education
measures – meals, books, remedial teaching..)
CHALLENGESSchool Level Lack of generic competences of teachers and school principals Lack of school team work Resistance to IE among some of teaching staff Unstable cooperation with Roma parents
Local/Central level Need to strengthen inter-sectoral cooperation on central and local level Lack of capacities and political will within some municipalities Lack of adequate data base Lack of monitoring culture Insufficient capacities of school administrations /pedagogical advisers for
monitoring and evaluation Lack of coordination at all levels Lack of international cooperation
General Unclear definition of students with special needs (Serbia is using OECD
definition)
