New from Eurydice

The Eurydice Network has updated two online publications relating to the organisation of teaching time in 31 European countries.

The first looks at school term dates and the distribution of holidays in primary and secondary education

The second covers the academic year in higher education and includes the length of terms, holidays and examination periods.

Both Organisation of School Time in Europe: Primary and general secondary education - 2008/09 school year and Organisation of the Academic Year in Higher Education - 2008/09 are available from the Eurydice Network website (under Latest publications)

New from INCA
The INCA comparative tables have been updated. These provide a brief overview of key issues across the 20 INCA countries and include summary tables on:
  • The duration of compulsory education (school starting ages and phases)
  • The primary curriculum
  • The lower secondary curriculum
  • The control and supply of textbooks
  • National assessment and public examination arrangements
  • Initial teacher training.

A new comparative table covering the organisation of the school year and school day has also been added.

The tables are available from: http://campaigns.openemail.net/t/3263140/5934961/1394/0/
