European Agency Statistics on Inclusive Education: Key Messages and Findings (2014 / 2016)

Blue cover with text
The current European Agency Statistics on Inclusive Education (EASIE) work involves
collecting, presenting and analysing national data (European Agency, no date-a). The data
is linked to agreed indicators that inform key policy questions for inclusive education. All
data is provided by national-level data experts (European Agency, no date-b).
The available datasets cover 30 countries and provide insights into:
• access to mainstream education;
• access to inclusive education;
• placement of learners identified as having an official decision of SEN.
They incorporate breakdowns by gender and by International Standard Classification of
Education (ISCED) level (UNESCO Institute for Statistics, 2011).
This short report aims to highlight the key messages and main findings from the EASIE
work to date. Two EASIE datasets (European Agency, no date-c) and Cross-Country
Reports are currently available:
• 2014, based on the 2012/2013 school year (European Agency, 2017)
• 2016, based on the 2014/2015 school year (European Agency, 2018a).
In addition to these reports, the full datasets are available upon request from the Agency
Secretariat (secretariat@european-agency.org) as Excel files that can be interrogated in
different ways.
