Items on a wooden desk

STRIDE will provide a new, comprehensive and comparative knowledge-base on effective education reforms, policy initiatives and interventions, that aim at reducing inequalities in education, training and learning outcomes in Europe.

STRIDE (02.2024-01.2027) will do this through analyses of education reforms in national and regional systems, of existing large-scale educational assessment and longitudinal data on the causal link between educational and other social policies and inequalities in educational achievements. 

STRIDE will closely examine the range of intersectional variables such as socio-economic background, gender, (dis)abilities, migration status, home language, early childhood education and care (ECEC) attendance, which may affect learning outcomes in different ways in different contexts.

Our goal

Through the involvement of national and European stakeholders, STRIDE will develop methodology and assessment tools for policy learning offering policy-makers a Toolbox of enhanced knowledge of what shapes educational outcomes over time and demonstrating the usefulness of longitudinal data in policy-making to reduce educational inequalities in the short, medium and long term.
