National and regional cooperation
“Stronger together for inclusive education.”
Cooperation is very important for good inclusive education. Not only within the educational institution, but also with people and organisations outside it. Parents/carers and the social environment of students should be involved in this. As an educational institution, you also work together with other organisations, such as local authorities and care institutions. By sharing knowledge and working together, you can improve education.
- National and regional cooperation helps to develop, improve and keep a close eye on inclusive education.
- Municipalities, healthcare organizations and educational institutions work together in the region. They know what their tasks are and coordinate them well.
- At the national level, the Ministry of Education, educational organizations and students work together.
- Plans have been created that focus on student health and happiness and studying with support needs. This is often done in conjunction with the municipality.
- It is important for students to be able to easily find where to get help, both at educational institutions and within healthcare outside of educational institutions.
Aspects National & regional cooperation
National knowledge exchange
“Cooperation at national level“
At the national level, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, educational institutions and student organisations are working together to promote more inclusive education. Plans and initiatives focus on health, well-being and studying with support needs. Sharing knowledge and best practices strengthens inclusive education. This makes it easier to implement and monitor national policy.
Cooperation with external guidance chain
“Regional cooperation for the best support“
Inclusive education does not stop at the walls of the educational institution. Local authorities, care organisations and educational institutions work together at regional level to support students. This is achieved through effective coordination of tasks and responsibilities, so that students receive appropriate support, both within and outside the educational system. Collaboration with external parties, such as care institutions, contributes to this.
Stakeholder engagement
“Strengthen cooperation with all stakeholders“
To make inclusive education successful, it is important to not only collaborate with internal teams, but also to involve parents/carers and the social environment of students. Stakeholders, such as employers, government agencies and welfare organisations, are actively involved in creating a broad, supportive base for students. It is important that students know where to go for help – both within the educational institution and at care institutions and other support services outside the school.
