new approaches to facilitate permeability between education sectors (i.e. through validation of prior learning and possibility of

flexible learning -modular studies, blended learning etc.);

informal education and training sectors; cooperation and exchange of practice between staff responsible for

support services, such as guidance counselling, coaching methods and tools, development of systems that help track student progress; or those involved in student support services, to increase
