GEM-Educo aims to provide measurement and evaluation instruments that serve to assess the contributions that Education makes towards the development and transformation of society, from a concept of Social Cohesion. It integrates different perspectives and aims to build a global model for the evaluation of education systems, in order to improve education in favour of Social Cohesion. GEM-Educo is developed with a commitment: to evaluate education (whether in the Systems, Institutions or Programmes) from a position that privileges the right of all to a quality education. In other words, integrating inclusion as a basis for achieving excellence. In this sense, the concept of Social Cohesion adopted by the Council of Europe (Lisbon, 2000, 2005), as a guide for the development of public policies, constitutes an integrating and systemic vision of quality, which can embrace the idea of quality as a right for the whole of society from any ideological position. For this reason, GEM-Educo aims to provide measurement and evaluation instruments which serve to assess the contributions which Education makes towards the development and transformation of society, based on a concept of Social Cohesion. In short, it integrates different perspectives and, due to its holistic - globalising - nature, aims to build a model which necessarily requires the support of a large research group and different projects.
