Map 2D - Measures taken to remove the legal obstacles that may hinder the mobility of minor learners, or to assist applicants
This map features country situations depending on whether measures have been taken to remove the obstacles that may hinder the mobility of IVET learners aged less than 18. Examples of such obstacles may be the requirements that the parental consent is written by both parents and is notarised or legalised; prior approval of the list of travellers is delivered by country authorities; sending institutions are registered on a special list of those entitled to send minors abroad; the supervisors have to know the language of the destination country and those of the countries crossed.
Measures to remove the obstacles to minor IVET learners’ mobility can take several forms, e.g. alleviating the legal and administrative requirements, simplifying the form of the parental consent, making the form available online, or funding the travel and stay of accompanying adults.
The map distinguishes categories depending on whether measures were necessary or not and, if they were, whether they were taken or not (if not, specifying whether plans for measures are being prepared). Measures are considered not necessary if fully-fledged investigations / research / studies / users or stakeholders surveys targeted at checking the need for such measures on the ground have been carried out and came to the conclusion that no such needs exist.
With the exceptions of seven countries (Croatia, Finland, Hungary, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta and Romania), where the requirements for under-age students were kept minimal, there is no evidence that measures were not necessary in the 30 countries represented. However only five countries (Austria, France, Germany, Italy and Slovenia) took steps. None of the remaining 18 countries have taken measures or are preparing development plans.
Section 2.1.2.3 of each country fiche gives details on the country’s approach to removing the obstacles to minor IVET learners’ international mobility.
