The decisions of the Board of Governors derive their legal basis from the Convention defining the Statute of the European Schools which entered into force in October 2004 and cancelled and replaced the 1957 Statute. This change to the legal basis and some changes to the presentation of the decisions (e.g. with a short summary or merely by referring to a document) meant that the authors of this Digest were faced with the difficulty of how to present the decisions in the most similar way, without adding to, shortening or commenting on any decision. All decisions taken by the Board of Governors up to its April 2014 meeting inclusive are taken into account. The Digest is not intended to be historical. It does not include decisions which have been repealed or replaced, nor does it indicate why decisions were taken. However, footnotes refer the reader to the documents containing the decisions of the relevant meeting of the Board of Governors.1 The Digest sets out decisions of a general nature. It does not mention decisions relating to individuals (appointments, etc.) or mandates given to working groups. Nor does it include texts already published (Convention defining the Statute of the European Schools, Regulations for the European Baccalaureate, Protocol on the Setting-up of European Schools, General Rules of the European Schools, Regulations for Members of the Seconded Staff, etc.). Searching for specific terms in the Digest of Decisions: Apart from consulting the detailed index at the end of this Digest, readers can search for specific terms by using the ‘Find’ function in the Word program (click on’ Edit’, then ‘Find’; type the term sought and click on ‘Find next’). A search for specific terms can also be made in documents in PDF format, using the ‘Edit’ button, then ‘Find'. 1 Abbreviations used: RNE Report of the non-enlarged meeting of the Board of Governors RBG Report of the Meeting of the Board of Governors ARBG Annex to the Report of the Meeting of the Board of Governors 2014-02-D-14-en-3 3/216 DECISIONS TAKEN AT THE LAST TWO MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS Meeting of the Board of Governors of 8-10 April 2014 V-H-10 Outcome of written procedure: 2014/3 – Adaptation of the Correction Coefficients and the related exchange rates to be applied from 1 July 2013 onwards to calculate the salaries of the Seconded Staff and the Chargés de Cours of the European Schools (Articles 47 and 48 of the Regulations for Seconded Staff of the European Schools) – 2014-01-LD-37-en XVI Outcome of written procedure: 2014/8 – Amendment of Article 15 ‘Transitional and final provisions’ of the Arrangements for implementing the Regulations for the European Baccalaureate (Applicable for the 2014 Baccalaureate session) (Ref.: 2012-10-D-18-en-3), approved by the Board of Governors at its December 2013 meeting XVI-A-25 Outcome of written procedure: 2014/11 – Memorandum on the organisation of the 2014 European Baccalaureate – Document: 2014-01-D-10-de/en/fr-2 XVII-E Assessment tools in the primary cycle of the European Schools including the final version of the School Report (2013-09-D-38-4) XVI-A-26 Updating of the Arrangements for implementing the Regulations for the European Baccalaureate, Article 1 (point 1.3) – Special arrangements (2014-02-D-5-en-3) IX-A-4 Amendments to the Regulations for Members of the Seconded Staff of the European Schools (2014-01- D-60-en-3) V-H-11 2015 BUDGET OF THE EUROPEAN SCHOOLS: a) Introduction to the preliminary draft 2015 budget (2014-02-D-10-en-2) b) Preliminary draft 2015 budget of the European Schools (2014-02-D-11-fr-2) V-H-12 Supplementary and amending budget No 1/2014 for the General Secretariat and amending budgets for the Brussels 2, 3 and 4, Culham, Frankfurt, Luxembourg 1 and 2 and Varese European Schools to release the funds required (2014-02-D-39-en-2) I-A-10 Financing Agreement between Luxembourg and the European Schools (2014-02-D-36-en-2) VII-A-7 Revision of the Regulations relating to reimbursement of expenses in the event of travel on official business by members of the Board of Governors, members of the Preparatory Committees, members of the Complaints Board, representatives of the Parents’ Associations and other persons invited to the European Schools (Baccalaureate examiners, experts, etc.) (2014-03-D-1-en-4) XII-F-I Amendments to the General Rules of the European Schools (2014-03-D-19-en-1) VI-P Criteria for the continuity of language sections in the secondary cycle (2013-10-D-30-en-3) XIII-B-8 External evaluation of the proposal for reorganisation of the structure of studies for secondary years S4-7: financial aspects (2014-02-D-33-en-3) VI-Q Creation of an Estonian language section (2014-03-D-26-en-1) IV-E FINANCIAL YEAR 2012 a) Discharge to the Administrative Boards and to the Secretary-General in respect of implementation of the 2012 budget (2014-02-D-12-en-2) b) 2012 Report of the Court of Auditors c) Closing of the 2012 accounts XVIII-H Further details regarding the consequences of approval by the Board of Governors at its December 2013 meeting of the proposal of the ‘Organisation of studies’ Working Group for years S1-S3 (2014-01-D-58- en-3) III-D-17.1 General Interest File – Scuola Europea di Brindisi (2014-01-D-45-en-3) III-D-15.2 Europa School UK – Dossier of Conformity – nursery and primary cycles (2014-02-D-6-en-2) III-D- Dossier of Conformity (years S6-S7 and Baccalaureate) Europaïsche Schule RheinMain, Bad Vilbel 10.2,b (2014-01-D-14-en-2) III-D-3.3 Audit report on the School of European Education, Heraklion + Annex (2014-01-D-20-en-2) III-D-6.4 Audit report - European Schooling Helsinki (2014-01-D-13-en-2) III-D-5.3 Audit report - Centre for European Schooling, Dunshaughlin (2014-01-D-18-en-2) 2014-02-D-14-en-3 4/216 Meeting of the Board of Governors of 3-5 December 2013 VIII-E Outcome of written procedure: 2013/13 – Amendment to the Rules of Procedure for the Complaints Board of the European Schools (2013-03-D-9-en-2) IV-D Outcome of written procedure: 2013/14 – New financing agreements for the admission of category II pupils to the Brussels European Schools (2013-03-D-4-en-2) III-8-8.3 Outcome of written procedure: 2013/21: ‘Admission of pupils in category III to the European School, Culham’ (2013-06-D-24-en-1) V-H-7 Outcome of written procedure: 2013/34: Amending budget No 1/2013 for the General Secretariat and the European Schools, Brussels

  • Parents' Association Annual Report 2019
    Parents’ Association Annual Report 2019 Introduction The Parents’ Association (PA) is an active association representing parents’ interests within the European School Karlsruhe. The Association is a non-profit organisation and membership is voluntary. Members of the PA committee (henceforth committee) represent the parents in the school and in the various committees in Brussels. The members all work voluntarily for the benefit of all pupils and parents in the ESK and can influence the decisions made by management locally and at the system level of the European schools. The role of the PA is unique to the European Schools and therefore it is imperative that the PA is active in the school community and parents take advantage of this rare opportunity. The membership fee is currently €30 per family per school year. More details can be found on the ESK PA website: www.esk-eltern.de ​ Year’s review This year the ESK PA Annual General Assembly (AGM) took place on 21 February 2019.

Taylor Trabajo de Investigación del Programa de Doctorado 120F. Director: Dr. Luis Miguel Lázaro Lorente Valencia, mayo de 2014 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The journey has been longer than initially anticipated, and certainly a memorable one. Embarking on this journey was made possible when the Department of Comparative Education and the History of Education accepted my letter of application. Thus, I express my gratitude for having had the opportunity to pursue my studies within the department and by extension, the University of Valencia. The journey has been both challenging and very rewarding due to all the persons who have made this a worthwhile experience. I begin by expressing thanks to Dr. Luis Miguel Lázaro Lorente for having accepted to be director of my Doctoral thesis. His ongoing encouragement to publish articles and to co-author a chapter, as well as his administrative assistance in providing the necessary documents required of the department for the renewal of my student visa annually is greatly appreciated. I am also grateful for the interest in my progress shown by each person in the Secretary Office of the department, Dr. Joan Marie Senet and Dr. Maria Jesús Martinez Usarralde throughout the years. I also wish to thank all my classmates, especially Ana Garcia, who has enriched my international student experience. I would like to thank my all friends who have encouraged me along this trajectory; but special thanks to Noemi Martinez, Loida Sanchez, Danny Moreno and David Guaita who have been with me on this journey from the beginning and who have been most encouraging and very supportive when I needed it most.

  • European Schools) Regulations 2021
    EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM TO THE EUROPEAN UNION (EUROPEAN SCHOOLS) REGULATIONS 2021 2021 No. [XXXX] 1. Introduction 1.1 This explanatory memorandum has been prepared by the Department for Education and is laid before Parliament by Act. 2. Purpose of the instrument 2.1 This instrument revokes The European Communities (European Schools) Order 1972 (SI 1972/1582); The European Communities (Privileges of the European School) Order 1990 (SI 1990/237); The European Communities (Privileges of the European School) Order 2001 (SI 2001/3674). 2.2 This instrument is revoking those Orders as they are redundant following the closure of European School Culham and the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union and the Convention Defining the Statute of the European Schools. Explanations What did any relevant EU law do before exit day? 2.3 The United Kingdom was a member of the Convention Defining the Statute of the European Schools by virtue of membership in the European Union. Much of the legislation relating to UK membership of that Convention was revoked on 31 December 2020. The remaining legislation currently in place relates exclusively to the former European School in the UK, European School Culham. This legislation offered certain protections to the school. As European School Culham closed on 31 August 2017 these have been redundant in UK legislation since that time. Why is it being changed? 2.4 The legislation relating to European School Culham is not required as the school closed on 31 August 2017. With the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union, we automatically fell out of the Convention Defining the Statute of the European Schools and our obligation relating to the UK’s relationship with the European Schools system is already committed to UK law under article 125 of the Withdrawal Agreement.
