Priorities
The OeAD supports innovative forms of peer learning within and between education systems to promote target-oriented change management. National education systems differ from one to the other. In an increasingly globalised world, however, they face similar challenges.
The OeAD's thematic focuses are oriented on common priorities at the interface between developments in education at national level and those at EU level. One focus is on vocational education and training. Multilingualism and diversity are continually increasing at Austrian schools. The OeAD promotes dialogue and cooperation between educational institutions in Austria and the main countries of origin of children with migration backgrounds.
