Learning Schools

Schools as learning institutions – European social partners in education promoting effective quality and innovation management models in the education sector in a post COVID-19 era

2023 – 2025

Overview of the project

The EFEE-ETUCE ‘LearningSchools’ project focuses on promoting effective quality and innovation management models in the European education sector. Over 24 months, the project aims to investigate how innovation in the school environment is managed, including the extent to which social partners and other stakeholders are involved in the management and decision-making process and the way the implementation, progress and positive outcomes are monitored, and by whom.

More specifically, the project also seeks to foster dialogue and exchanges on successful and effective innovative practices, tools and processes in the post-Covid-19 era between education stakeholders throughout the activities of the project; to promote cooperation among education stakeholders, education employers, teachers, trade union representatives on the matter of designing and monitoring innovative practices in education institutions involving all relevant actors; and to contribute to raising the attractiveness of the teaching profession, awareness about the importance of quality and inclusive training, as well as capacity building by involving stakeholders in peer learning visits. Through case studies, research reports, and a final conference, the project also seeks to involve social partners in education, employers, and trade union representatives – contributing to the European Pillar of Social Rights and the priorities of the European Sectoral Social Dialogue in Education as a result.
