Abstract

Les droits des élèves handicapés à être scolarisés, près de chez eux, au sein du système éducatif classique sont de plus en plus reconnus dans la plupart des pays. Rien ne justifie le maintien de structures séparées pour ces élèves dans les systèmes éducatifs publics ; bien au contraire, ce sont ces systèmes qu'il faut revoir pour qu'ils satisfassent les besoins de tous les élèves. A travers une analyse approfondie des pratiques d'insertion scolaire de huit pays, ce livre aborde les questions soulevées pour assurer le succès de ces initiatives. Il ressort de cette étude, qui constitue la comparaison internationale la plus détaillée menée à ce jour, que tous les élèves, quels que soient la nature ou l'importance de leur handicap, peuvent être intégrés dans une scolarité classique pour peu que certaines précautions soient prises.Neuf questions s'affirment d'une importance cruciale : les principes de financement des établissements, les systèmes de contrôle public de l'utilisation des fonds par les écoles, l'évaluation des élèves, l'élaboration des programmes, le ratio maître-élèves, le rôle des aides éducateurs, le fonctionnement des services de soutien, la formation des enseignants et des autres spécialistes, et la participation de la collectivité et des parents. Les études de cas par pays sont complétées par des annexes décrivant la formation la plus efficace à donner aux enseignants spécialisés, et élaborant une procédure d'analyse coût-efficacité pour l'enseignement intégré.Pour en savoir plus Sur le même thème, l'OCDE a déjà publié Implementing Inclusive Education (1997), disponible en anglais uniquement, L'enseignement post-obligatoire pour les personnes handicapées (1997), et L'intégration scolaire des élèves à besoins particuliers (1995). Une analyse quantitative des données fera l'objet de travaux ultérieurs, à paraître en 2000.Pays couverts Allemagne Australie Canada Danemark Etats-Unis Islande Italie Royaume-Uni

Abstract

This report presents results of a three-year evaluation of Learn and Serve America, Higher Education (LSAHE), a program sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service that aims to increase involvement in community service by higher education institutions and students. LSAHE emphasizes an approach to community service, called "service-learning," that focuses on the development of service providers as well as service recipients. Between 1995 and 1997, about one in every eight higher education institutions nationwide participated in LSAHE by developing service-learning courses and programs. The evaluation described the major activities and accomplishments of LSAHE-supported programs; assessed the impacts of LSAHE on students, communities, and institutions; and determined returns on the public investment in LSAHE. Results show that LSAHE was highly successful in serving communities and had mixed success in promoting student development and institutional change. Although expenditures exceeded the value of LSAHE to communities, value increased each year, suggesting that long-term positive returns may occur.

Abstract

Lifelong Learning for All, the report emerging from the meeting of OECD Education Ministers signals their own commitment to advancing further this orientation in national education systems. Subsequent meetings of Labour and Social Affairs Ministers endorsed the relevance of a lifelong learning approach to address important aspects of labour and social policy issues. This report is the first country study organised in the form of an education policy review. It analyses the obstacles and challenges encountered thus far in adapting a lifelong learning approach to policy making in education and training from pre-school to adult education and retraining. Particular attention is given to education and the economy, regional development, new forms of distance education and financing.

Abstract

Entre 15 et 30 pour cent des enfants et des adolescents risquent d'échouer à l'école où les problèmes d'acquisition des connaissances et de comportement touchent des enfants de plus en plus jeunes. De nombreux pays, aux contextes politiques et culturels très différents, répondent à ces défis en renforçant la coordination des services éducatifs, sanitaires et sociaux, processus souvent amplifié par une participation plus large, qui s'étend aux entreprises et aux personnes âgées. C'est plus qu'un simple replâtrage des systèmes de prestation de services prévus par la loi. Les services actuels ne correspondent pas aux besoins. Notre vision de la famille et de ses besoins change, ainsi que l'équilibre entre les aspects préventifs et curatifs, et la façon dont les professionnels travaillent ensemble. Cet ouvrage retrace dans le détail l'évolution de ce processus dans sept pays de l'OCDE : Allemagne, Australie, Canada, Etats-Unis, Finlande, Pays-Bas et Portugal. Il étudie la transformation des systèmes dans l'optique des décideurs, des gestionnaires, des praticiens et des usagers. Il rend compte du cadre dans lequel s'inscrit cette évolution, met en lumière les mesures prises pour la favoriser et examine les réformes proprement dites ainsi que leurs conséquences. Se plaçant dans une large perspective, cet ouvrage couvre la période préscolaire, la scolarité et le passage à la vie active.

Abstract

For many universities and other higher education providers, internationalisation is becoming an integral aspect of their teaching, research and public service roles. And institutions are increasingly operating in a global market in which quality assurance and assessment are particularly important and sensitive issues. This book discusses some of the challenges of ensuring quality in internationalisation, and provides a framework to assist institutions in designing and reviewing their own strategies and policies. Analysis of the evolving policy environment is contributed by internationally recognised experts; and case studies from Australia, Finland, Kenya, Mexico, Poland and the United States are included. The book also presents the Internationalisation Quality Review Process (IQRP), a unique practical tool for institutional leaders and managers who wish to develop the international dimension of their programmes and services.

Abstract

Young people's situation and future prospects are of vital concern to us all. Many of them face high unemployment or joblessness and serious difficulties in getting a firm foothold into the labour market. Many leave school without the requisite skills or competences needed in today’s economy and society. Many are also experiencing falling relative (and sometimes real) wages and considerable uncertainty as to whether or not they will be able to settle into good careers. But at the same time, our ageing societies need, more than ever before, to harness the potential of all of our young people. This publication points the way to future initiatives to improve youth labour market and educational outcomes as identified by policy-makers and experts of OECD countries brought together at the Washington Conference "Preparing Youth for the 21st Century: The Policy Lessons from the Past Two Decades", held on 23-24 February 1999. To give the most comprehensive picture to date, it first puts today's challenges into a historical perspective by taking stock of two decades of policies for youth employment. But more substantially, this book provides insight into experiences and policy issues in the United States, as well as in Europe and Japan, with a stress on the special needs of disadvantaged youth. All of us interested in making sure we give youth a good start in education and in establishing rewarding labour market careers will find this compendium a milestone in youth employment debate.
