11 Prison education / adult education Prison education should not be regarded as a separate field but rather as an intrinsic and important part of a country s adult education and training system as a whole (whichever ministry is responsible need for coordination) Equal educational rights for offenders Offenders and ex-offenders on the road to re-integration have the same rights as other sections of society to benefit from learning opportunities

25 Grundtvig messages emerging on prison education (I) Traditional prison systems emphasising reprisal more than rehabilitation, are out-of-phase with democratic ideals Developing a sense of responsibility and solidarity should be emphasised rather than blind obedience People should be sent to prison as a punishment, not for punishment! Prison inmates including those with special learning needs have a right to education just like any other citizen It is a public responsibility to provide appropriate services, including notably after care, and to ensure that this is enshrined in legislation Education provided in prisons should be as similar to education outside as possible, and provide as many transfer routes as possible
26 Grundtvig messages emerging on prison education (II) Research results are beginning to prove the economic attraction of improving prison education (lower re-offending rates) Prisoners with the least promising criminal diagnosis are likely to benefit most from prison education There is a vital need for prison officers to be adequately trained in order to equip them properly for their complex job Valuing learning is a particularly important area in the context of prison education: many inmates have competences of which they are not made aware Prison education as an instrument for social re-insertion can only be achieved through close collaboration between the education service and other bodies, especially in the postrelease phase
27 Grundtvig messages emerging on prison education (III) Addressing individual learners needs is the key to success. This means individual strategies and tutoring Courses need to be very flexible Short-term courses need to be on offer to cater for the needs of inmates who have received short sentences New inmates should be able to enter courses on a flexible basis, even after they have started Far more flexible teaching is therefore required than in mainstream educational establishments, which has implications for teaching methods
28 Grundtvig messages emerging on prison education (IV) Teacher employment contracts must also reflect the need for flexibility: permanent core staff to cover most of the inmates learning needs possibility to hire additional teachers with a wide range of other specialisations in order to complement this basic coverage Prison education as an instrument for social re-insertion can only be achieved through close collaboration between the education service and other bodies, especially in the post-release phase
29 Grundtvig some potential topics on prison education Producing new materials and methodologies for any aspect of prison education Organising training courses for prison education staff from several countries, Models for training prison educators Analyses of the impact of education on re-offending / sustainable reintegration ICT and prison education The intercultural challenge of prison education, and the particular situation of prisons with a high incidence of inmates from ethnic minority groups Strategies for actively involving prison staff
30 Artistic and creativity education Methods of tackling the particular problems of education for young drugs offenders Prison education for women Management and funding of prison education Evaluation and quality assurance issues in prison education Maximising the effectiveness of post-release strategies Models for improving collaboration between prisons and the local community in the area of education
31 The ExOCoP Network potential for DG Education & Culture Bringing together the key «players» at European, national and local level on a sustainable basis > higher quality through European cooperation Channel for sharing experience from Grundtvig and Leonardo with experience in other contexts Promoting dissemination of our programmes results / innovation transfer Concrete outputs for quality improvement: Models for training prison educators Analyses of the impact of education on re-offending / sustainable reintegration Training courses for prison education staff A source of expertise for the Commission on prison education & training issues European events bringing together the stakeholders: European Conference on Prison Education 2010
