COMPARATIVE RESEARCH ON PROJECT MANAGEMENT APPROACH IN THE EUROPEAN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Nowadays, project management is common for many areas and industries, including the educational sector. The international cooperation between educational institutions and the students’ international mobility are built on major projects and programs established through European and national institutions. The aim of this article is to review the best practices of project management implementation in public secondary education. The analysis is focused on three European countries: France, Spain and Finland. Using Eurydice tools and network, OECD reports, the national project agency reports and scholar’s researches, we compare the project management background and characteristics within these three decentralized educational systems. The results are considered useful for school managers that are going to implement major projects in their institutions.
