Voices into Action: Including the Voices of Learners and their Families in Educational Decision-Making – Final Summary Report

VIA_final summary report
This final summary report outlines the methodology and the main outcomes and findings from VIA. It presents key messages for policy-makers – and for all education stakeholders – to enable meaningful participation of learners and families.

The Voices into Action (VIA) activity examined how to meaningfully involve the voices of learners and their families in educational decision-making processes. It aimed to:

  • establish the background and rationale for the widely recognised need to involve learner and family voices in decision-making;
  • identify how policy-makers and other stakeholders might meet this need in practice, in different countries and different contexts.
