Description
Poor involvement of educational NGOs in the implementation of education policy at municipal level results in ineffective education services in the regions that do not respond to the needs of the population. In most municipalities the involvement of NGOs is weak and fragmented. Also, not all educational data is still open, which makes it difficult to evaluate the information published by institutions that often manipulate with the data results. Therefore, the project aims to increase the participation of non-governmental organizations in the education system by:
1. Strengthening the capacity of educational NGOs, promoting dialogue between local government and NGOs, providing advocacy on the inclusion of NGOs among the providers of educational services in Vilnius, Kaunas, Kazlu Ruda, Alytus city and district municipalities in order to include educational NGOs consultative local bodies and take into account proposals made by organization in the preparation of municipal strategy papers and their implementation plans / programs;
2. Active participation in the design of general curricular, especially in the field of citizenship education, and the practical 4K model in general education, submission of proposals as well as advocacy and monitoring of their implementation, thus opening up opportunities for effective NGO involvement in civic education.
3. Analysing currently open education data and its use in decision-making and submitting proposals for its improvement; advocacy and monitoring would make preconditions for greater transparency and accountability of public education authorities.
Target groups:
1) regional educational organizations of Vilnius City, Kaunas City and District, Kazlu Ruda, Alytus City and District;
2) representatives of the listed municipal councils and administrations;
3) members of the National Education NGO Network;
4) staff from the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports and the National Education Agency;
