The recently published mid-term evaluation of the Tempus IV programme confirms that Tempus is reaching its objectives, by fostering cooperation, building capacities and contributing to reforms in countries surrounding the EU. The new features introduced under Tempus IV clearly enhance the impact of the programme and the new management set-up is seen as highly beneficial to the programme performance. The programme's bottom-up approach is considered as one of the key factors for its success.

The Tempus programme is an education cooperation programme promoting higher education modernisation and development in the neighbouring countries of the EU. The programme funds cooperation projects in the Partner Countries of Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Western Balkans and the Southern Mediterranean region. Since 1990, the EU has made available 1.5 billion EUR, funding nearly 4000 cooperation projects. These projects last from two to three years and aim to introduce long term structural change, as well as to encourage people-to-people contacts and intercultural understanding.

Working with partners outside the EU.

While the above programmes are managed from Brussels, their global reach means that we work closely with a number of partners in non-EU countries. EU Delegations act as the eyes, ears and mouthpiece of the EU towards authorities and population in their host countries. A range of associations play a key role in promoting and representing EU programmes world-wide.

Klaus Haupt, Head of the Tempus Programme Unit at EACEA, gives an insight into how his team works with National Tempus Offices.

Уряд розглянув та схвалив Національну стратегію розвитку освіти в Україні на 2012-2021 роки, яку пропонується затвердити відповідним Указом Президента України. Це питання розглядалося на засіданні Кабінету Міністрів 10 вересня 2012 року.

Документ розроблено з метою вдосконалення правових та організаційних засад розвитку освіти в Україні. До розробки стратегії долучилися практично всі освітянські колективи, громадськість, від яких надійшло майже 6 тисяч пропозицій, зауважень, звернень, які були проаналізовані та враховані в проекті Національної стратегії розвитку освіти. Документ було розглянуто та схвалено минулого року на III Всеукраїнському з’їзді працівників освіти.
