COMENIUS in short
(by the European Union)
COMENIUS focuses on the first phase of education, from
pre-school and primary to secondary school, and it is addressed
to all members of the education community in the broad sense
– pupils, teachers, other education staff, but also local authorities,
parents' associations, non-government organisations ...
COMENIUS supports school partnerships, projects for the training
of school education staff, and school education networks. It
thus aims to enhance the quality of teaching, strengthen its
European dimension and promote language learning and mobility.
COMENIUS also emphasises certain important issues: learning
in a multi-cultural framework, which is the cornerstone of European
citizenship, support for disadvantaged groups, countering under-achievement
at school and preventing exclusion.
