ISOTIS
Inclusive Education and Social Support to Tackle Inequalities in Society
Description

 ISOTIS (Inclusive Education and Social Support to Tackle Inequalities in Society), funded by the European Union within the Horizon2020 program, is an international project that involves 17 partners and 11 countries. The project is coordinated in CIS-IUL by the researcher Cecília Aguiar. It aims to contribute to effective policy and practice development at different system levels in order to effectively combat early arising and persisting educational inequalities. In the context of acculturation and integration, and in relation to local and national policies, ISOTIS will examine current resources, experiences, aspirations, needs and well-being of children and parents in those groups associated with persistent educational disadvantages such as significant immigrant, indigenous ethnic-cultural and low income native groups.

      Quasi-panels and pooled longitudinal datasets will be used to examine the variation in early educational gaps and developmental trajectories across countries, systems and time. ISOTIS will develop inter-linked programs for parents, classrooms and professionals using Virtual Learning Environments for working in linguistically diverse contexts. This three-year project is expected to support the education practice and policy field in Europe in meeting the challenges of reducing social and educational inequalities.
