Education in the News

These bulletins contain a collection of recent education news items, presented in alphabetical order by country. They have been collected from international education websites, ministry websites, the Times Education Supplement, the Times Higher Education (THE) and other publications.

An international supplement has been included since the beginning of 2003. This is based on information collected in the process of the Eurydice Unit's work in maintaining and developing the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority-sponsored International Review of Curriculum and Assessment Frameworks (INCA) Internet Archive.

Direct links, correct at the time of going to press, have been given where possible; otherwise the nearest point of entry to the source website is given.
