SELFIE WBL PILOT COUNTRY REPORT: MONTENEGRO

SELFIE WBL PILOT COUNTRY REPORT: MONTENEGRO | 10 3.3 Preparing for the pilot implementation The first step in preparing for the pilot was to communicate within the SELFIE national team at the MoESCS in order to consider the requirements of the pilot framework and agree on the course of action in the preparation phase. [...] The main activities included a detailed analysis of WBL implementation at the system level over the previous two school years, an analysis of any available data obtained from the schools for the current school year, consideration of the initial idea to include schools and companies providing WBL in the tourism sector, and agreement on the size of the sample. [...] The case study consists of a clear, well-structured, objective narrative of the experience of the selected institution in the pilot phase, with an emphasis on engaging learners, teachers and companies in the process, together with any related feedback on the usefulness of the SELFIE WBL tool and on the need for innovation. [...] The most challenging situation arose with the closure of most schools in the very middle of the pilot as a result of a sharp increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in the municipalities where the schools were located. [...] The existing quality assurance system based on the external and internal evaluation of schools should be adapted to recognise the impact of SELFIE WBL at the school level by using the SELFIE WBL data to analyse the design and implementation of the development plan.
