Eurydice at NFER

Eurydice at NFER is the unit for England, Wales and Northern Ireland in the European Commission information network on education - Eurydice. The network provides reliable, comparative information on education systems and policies in Europe.

Eurydice at NFER serves policy makers at European, national and local government level and, where relevant, makes information freely available to the wider education community on this website.

We provide:

• a dedicated enquiry service for policy makers
• an email alerting service
• an international current awareness bulletin - Education in the News       
• contributions for England, Wales and Northern Ireland to Eurydice network publications, including Eurybase and the Key Data Series.
  NB The latest (2009/10) Eurybase description of the education system in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is available here.
• system overviews for study visit participants

We have also produced a series of briefings on various education topics including:

education systems	school organisation and management	curriculum and assessment
higher education	european strategies	children's services

Eurydice at NFER is managed by the International Information Unit at the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER). See our 'About Us' pages for further information regarding the Eurydice network, Eurydice at NFER and the Unit's other international work.
