The document discusses the impact of a project in Kosovo aimed at promoting equity in vocational education and training (VET) policies and schools. It notes that the project has led to new evidence on social inclusion in pilot schools, and increased awareness among schools and social partners of their role in promoting social inclusion. Upcoming measures include further incorporating social inclusion into school development plans, implementing these plans, and increasing indicators to measure student inclusion. The greatest remaining challenge is securing an increased budget to allow for more teacher training, advanced workshop equipment, networking among VET schools, and motivating employers to offer internships.
