<br>
We are glad to present you the second newsletter of the <br>
GOETE research project. GOETE aims at analysing how
educational <br>
trajectories of young people are regulated as a result of
complex <br>
interactions in different European education systems. The
study <br>
"Governance of educational trajectories in Europe" (GOETE)
investigates: <br>
- how access of children and young people to different stages
of <br>
education is enabled or restricted, <br>
- how coping with educational demands is being facilitated
through <br>
formal and informal support,<br>
- how it is being negotiated between different actors<br>
- and what kind of education actually is relevant for society
at large <br>
as well as subjectively for the learners. <br>
<br>
This GOETE newsletter brings an update on the progress in our
research, <br>
and articulates some reflections on European and <br>
national policy discussions as well as links to relevant
policy <br>
developments at EU level. If you want to subscribe to the
GOETE <br>
newsletter please click here. <br>
<br>
With best regards from the <br>
<br>
GOETE coordination team<br>

The GOETE Project has completed its first year. In this first
year much <br>
effort has been put in the preparation of the comparative
research. In <br>
this first phase eight country reports and a glossary with <br>
key concepts </font></small><small><font
class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma">were produced</font></small><small><font
class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma">. D</font></small><small><font
class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma">uring this period, </font></small><small><font
class="Apple-style-span" face="Tahoma">the GOETE consortium
has worked <br>
on the design, construction, and implementation of research
instruments for the <br>
empirical field work. The field work is expected to be
completed by the <br>
end of 2011. <br>
<br>
Key events in this first year were the GOETE consortium
meeting in <br>
Ljubljana in July 2010, where representatives of all partner
teams <br>
attended, and the GOETE case study working group meeting in
Amsterdam in <br>
December 2010 where delegates from all participating GOETE
partners <br>
involved in the qualitative case studies attended. Further,
the second <br>
GOETE consortium meeting took place in Bologna in February
2011.<br>

(2) Reflection: EU Education Policy: Europe 2020: Possible
Implications <br>
for GOETE by Roger, Dale, Bristol, United Kingdom <br>
_______________________________________________________________________
<br>
<br>
The EU's new policy agenda "Europe 2020" and its more or less
directly <br>
associated initiatives, carry quite a large range of
implications for <br>
the GOETE project. Europe 2020 is the successor to the Lisbon
Agenda, as <br>
the guiding light for the EU's overal strategy. Its target is
achieving <br>
'smart, sustainable and inclusive growth', and one of its main
goals is <br>
to raise education levels to satisfy demands for new and
higher skills. <br>
Roger Dale intends to clarify with his reflection the aims and
possible <br>
implications of those initiatives.<br>

(3) Reflection: National Education Policy in Focus:
Organisation of <br>
Schooling in Germany: a discussion by Thorsten Bohl,
Tuebingen, Germany <br>
_______________________________________________________________________
<br>
<br>
International discussions about educational structures and the
<br>
organisation of schooling have a long tradition in Europe; in
spite of <br>
this, there is no operationally defined and cross-nationally
valid <br>
terminology available to describe the organisaton/structure of
education <br>
systems. In the GOETE countries the timing of the transition
form <br>
primary to secondary education varies substantially. Thorsten
Bohl <br>
discusses the topic of the school system in Germany in his
reflection <br>
and his interview.<br>
