Session Overview: Updating INEE Minimum Standards

Updating the INEE Minimum Standards Handbook: Opportunities to shape the process and the content


Global Consultation 2009, Istanbul

Wednesday 1 April 14:15-18:15, Concurrent Learning Session Block 4

Abstract

This session will engage participants in a review of the proposed update of the INEE Minimum Standards (2009-2010). Following a presentation of the feedback and analysis that will inform the update, participants will have the opportunity to contribute their thoughts and suggestions on how to improve the content and format of the standards for the next version of the handbook. Plenary discussions will consider the style and format of the guide, as well as the anticipated process for conducting the update. Smaller working groups will focus on how to strengthen the standards’ crosscutting themes in HIV/AIDS, disability and vulnerability, and early childhood care and development.

This working session will provide a hands-on opportunity for participants to concretely shape the changes to be made and the process to follow to update the INEE Minimum Standards. If you are a user of the standards or simply have expertise in an issue that needs strengthening in the handbook, please come to share your thoughts and be part of this exciting update initiative!
