Providing the opportunity to develop partnerships with other local and regional education authorities within the European Union, which will give educational authorities, in cooperation with schools and other actors in education, the opportunity to work together on topics of mutual interest. These might concern for example the organisation of school education, cooperation between schools and other local partners (e.g. providers of formal or non-formal learning), or common problems in school education (e.g. new approaches in the organisation of schooling, disadvantaged pupils and early school leaving, teacher qualifications and competence).
To be eligible for funding, each partnership will need to consist of 2 partner regions, each of which must involve; a local or regional authority with a role in school education; at least one school; and at least one other relevant local partner (e.g. youth or sports clubs, parents’ and pupils’ associations, local teacher training institutes, other learning providers, further education institutions and local employers, community organisations, museums and advisory services).
