Section 4: Guidance for sending schools Guidance for sending schools on selecting pupils The aim of this document is to help sending schools carry out the selection of pupils who will participate in the Comenius Individual Pupil Mobility action. The selection process can be divided into two phases: the recruitment phase and the actual selection of pupils. The recruitment phase During the recruitment phase potential participating pupils are invited to sign up, so that a list of candidates for the actual selection can be established. In its simplest form, recruitment may just consist of putting an announcement on the school’s notice board or website. It may also be done over a longer period of time and involve more elaborate publicity. Pupils to whom the thought of a period abroad does not occur naturally should also be encouraged to apply. Talks or presentations by former participants on exchange projects can have the strongest impact on interested pupils. Selection The sending school should define the selection procedure, i.e. the documentation that the applicants need to submit and how it will be treated. Ideally schools should make a first selection on the basis of written applications (a model Pupil application form is provided) and then interview the most suitable candidates before making the final choice. There are a number of general criteria that should always be considered in a selection process, even though an element of subjective judgment will always be involved. It is strongly recommended to form a selection committee, which could also involve external people, rather than letting one staff member take the decision alone. In addition to the general criteria, there are specific criteria that relate to the nature or purpose of the mobility project and which must be defined individually on the basis of each project’s characteristics. Both the general and the specific criteria must be agreed upon and shared by all those involved in the selection process and they should be clearly communicated to the applicants. It is also important to discuss the criteria and their rationale with the contact person of the host school, so that they know on what basis the selection has taken place, and can prepare accordingly. General criteria General selection criteria relate to the following factors: motivation parental support 19
