INTRODUCTION
This document reflects the template of the NA Work Programme that will be developed in the IT tool Lifecard. Lifecard shall be used by National Agencies to draft their programmeof activit ies. They will be asked to present updates on their multiannual strategy and plans as well as information about operational objectives to be pursued and activit ies to becarried out in the year 2016. Where relevant, National Agencies will also present the annual activities of the Erasmus+ Networks run by or l inked to them. The sections of this WorkProgramme that relate to updates of the Multiannual Strategy and Plans are not always compulsory. The National Agency shall provide such updates only if significant
developments to these strategies and plans have occurred or will occur in 2016 or if specific changes were requested by the Commission (e.g. in the approval letter of the 2015 NAWork Programme or evaluation conclusions letter of the 2014 Yearly NA Report). For more explanations on how to fill in this Work Programme, National Agencies are invited toconsul t the Specifications for the E+ NA Work Programme provided by the Commission.
VISION AND MISSION OF THE NATIONAL AGENCY
The NA's vision and mission of i ts organisation, including its responsibili t ies or mandate beyond its role as a National Agency, together with its long-term goals and their impacton/contribution to the management of the programme by the NA and how these goals are reflected concretely in the objectives of the NA staff .Please update if necessary.
No update for WP 2016.
PART I - STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK FOR PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION
N.B. National Agencies are invited to complete or revise Part I of the Work Programme only if significant changes have been introduced in their multiannual strategies, compared toprevious years.NA Multiannual strategy for the implementation of Erasmus+
I.1. National policy context
Overall description of the state of play of national policy context in view of the specific objectives of the Erasmus+ Programme in the fields of education, training and youth (asapplicable)Please update if necessary.
The national context has no significant changes, however an update of the main topics of ministerial activities is relevant. In May 2015 new Minister for Education, Science andSport has been appointed (dr. Maja Makovec Brenčič). She set four mail areas of development and the focal points in her mandate:
- internat ional isat ion od educat ion and training sector
- quality (already high on the agenda during last years)
- transfer and circulation of knowledge (education – economic development – science triangle)
- support ing environments (al l e lements that support the development and implementat ion of the three above)
In this regards also multi l ingualism and crosscurricular contexts become an important topics.
Minister is also regularly underlining the importance of the Erasmus+ programme and the role of the NA as an important support mechanism for al l focal points, therefore weexpect that E+ programme will be well set within the national policy context ion the next years.
I.2. Needs analysis

As forecasted already in 2015 work programme, the main operational objective of the NA has been successfully implemented. The participation in Erasmus+ during calls 2014 and2015 is comparable to the participation of last three years in LLP and the commitment rate for decentralised activities is 100%. This will remain one of the main goals of the NAalso during 2016 activities.
As planned the focus during 2015 shifted and will continue so in 2016 also toward effective and efficient implementation of the awarded programme activit ies. The aim of the NAis high quality impact, reaching the objectives and benefitivng the national context in doing so. The NA therefore puts significant efforts into diffetent monitoring activities tosupport beneficiaries. The focus lies in both types of activities, mobility projects and strategic partnerships. In mobility projects two areas remain as top priorit ies, namelymobility of staff and the quality of mobility. Both are interrelated therefore the NA activities cover the mobility of staff in function of the high quality of mobility. In strategicparternships the focus is on quall i ty in al l aspects - quali ty of project management and quali ty of project results and impact.
Special attention during 2015 and 2016 is put to the promotion of different supporting environments for projects, namely platforms EPALE, eTwinning, Education Gateway andErasmus+ Project results Platform.
Since main focal points of the national context support the our activities the NA will streamline its activities more towards the identified focal points to achieve greater impact onnational context .

Please ensure coherence with Part II of this work programme and provide more details about theseactivities in the section below.
Due to high demand and high quality of applications the NA is satisfied to report 100% commitment rate of the available budget for KA1 activities. The reserve lists are set up inall fields in KA1 therefore any uncommited funds in KA2 are also possible to be transfered to KA1.

In relation to the indicators above, please describe (on the basis of the information gathered in participants ' reports and final beneficiary reports from previous years, as well asother sources) the general level of recognition of learning outcomes of participants in mobility projects selected by your National Agency (give information about any type ofmobility managed by your NA). If relevant, please elaborate on the type of activities that you intend to carry out during the year in order to improve the situation in the followingyears. Please ensure coherence with Part II of this work programme and provide more details about these activities in the section below.
General level of recognition of learning outcomes of participants in mobility between Programme countries is satisfactory. The NA records objective recognition methods put inplace in HE and VET mobility projects. The share of VET schools using ECVET tools is increasing, the NA supports this through activities of the ECVET project. The recognition ismonitored through final reports and also during monitoring visi ts to insti tutions. During 2015 no cases of no recognit ion were detected.

In relation to the indicator above please describe (on the basis of the information gathered in participants ' reports and final beneficiary reports from previous years, as well asother sources) the extent to which Strategic Partnerships are an instrument to promote cooperation between different profi les of organisations and insti tut ions as well as aninstrument to "open" the fields of education, training and youth to synergies and cooperation with other fields. If relevant, please elaborate on the type of activit ies that you intendto carry out during the year in order to improve the situation in the following years. Please ensure coherence with Part II of this work programme and provide more details aboutthese activities in the section below.
Analysis of the applications has shown, that applicants do not see priorit ies so much as field specific but more content related. Some priorit ies are more general therefore easilyapplicable to different fields ("Strengthening quality through mobili ty and cross-border cooperation" is HE priority but has been chosen by many projects unrelated to HEcompletely - because it is so general, applicable to any field and it was not clear in the application it is only HE related). However generally speaking almost all projects (over 80%)choose at least addit ional horizontal priori ty next to f ield-specific ones, therefore the share of cross-sectoral projects is high.Is is also notable that some cross-sectoral cooperation is more common (HE-VET, HE-SE, SE-VET, VET-AE) than other (SE-AE, HE-AE, cooperation with youth sector in general). Toincrease the cooperation with youth sector the NA detected the need for better understanding of youth priori t ies. The NAs collaborate well and therefore an elaborated explanationof youth priorit ies will be assured by the youth NA for the use of both NAs. To increase general cross-sectoral cooperation the NA will put more stress on i t during promotion andalso traing the external evaluators in accordance to recognise the value of such cooperation in projects being evaluated.The NA plans part icipation in cross-sectoral TCA activit ies to enhance the awareness of cross-sectoral cooperation and cooperation among sectors as such.

If any of the above share is not satisfactory, please elaborate on the type of activit ies that you intend to carry out during the year in order to increase the participation of theseactors in the action in the following years. Please ensure coherence with Part II of this work programme and provide more details about these activities in the section below.
As to be expected the highest share of enterprise cooperation is in the field of VET. For Slovenia the percentage can change quickly because the number of projects is very low (3in VET and 2 each in other fields). However we are confident, that the cooperation will continue in the expected scope also in the future when we expect the number of projects tobe higher. The objective of the NA is to always have room for field specific projects which will work on an expertese of the field, however in each field the NA aslo expects a degreeof cooperation with enterprises. The degree is to be very high in VET followed by the HE field, while the extent of cooperation with worl of work is smaller in SE ind AE. Basically the NA will promote the cooperation strongly in the field of VET and HE so only exceptionally the project will be selected if no cooperation with field of work is included(if not relevant for the topic), while in SE and AE fields the cooperation will be supported but not in the extent as in th eother two fields.
I.3.5. Enhance the international dimension of education, training and youth activities and the role of youth workers and organisations as support structures for young people
by encouraging mobility projects with Partner Countries.

In relation to the indicator I .3.5.1, for higher education student credit mobili ty and staff mobili ty between Programme and Partner Countries: if the NA decides to add secondaryaward criteria for the 2016 selection of projects regarding budget envelopes below 60 000 EUR, these additional criteria should be described in the section below.
NA SI has decided to keep the rules set up in 2015 Call with some additional criteria:- DCI South Africa: only staff mobility of maximum duration of 15 days (travel not included) eligible- PI Industrialised Americas and Asia: only staff and PhD mobility eligible
The reasoning behind this additional rules is:- in case of DCI South Africa the available budget is very low and priority is staff mobility to set up possible future student mobility- in case of PI Industrialised Americas and Asia priority is increased cooperation in research.
In relation to the indicator I.3.5.2, please justify, if relevant, the reasons for a low NA budget take up and please elaborate on the type of activities that you intend to carry outduring the year in order to improve the situation in the following years. Please ensure coherence with Part II of this work programme and provide more details about theseactivities in the section below.
In so far the NA had high interest from HEIs to participate in international mobility activities, especially for certain regions where the sum of requested budgets was high above theavailable budget (IPA and ENI). Therefore we expect the commitment rate to be 100% in all envelopes since the available budget has been lower than the requested budget by theHEIs during both calls in 2015. However, the NA has already received reports regarding the difficulties in the implementation of the action. Mainly the difficulties relate to thenational laws for payment to foreign persons. The NA is in close contact with the HEIs and also with all relevant national services involved, parallel to the close cooperation withthe national authorities to solve the problems in view of support to the mobility activities. The NA is confident the problems will be solved in due time not to impact negatively on the mobility activities.

If any of the above share is not satisfactory, please elaborate on the type of activit ies that you intend to carry out during the year in order to improve the participation of peoplewith special needs/fewer opportunities in the action in the following years. Please ensure coherence with Part II of this work programme and provide more details about theseactivities in the section below.
The share of learners with special needs participating in the awarded Key Action 1 mobility projects in HE is stil l very low. The number of students is similar to previous years andis not r ising as is the absolute number of awarded mobili t ies. The NA has the system set in place for the additional support to be requested by the HEIs for the purpose ofparticipation of students with special needs which is transparent and easy to follow. The NA also set up very clear rules regarding the aplication of individual students foradditional grant at the HEI level, including existing documentation to be submitted so no extra bureaucracy is requested from the student. The NA also promotes the extraavailable funds for this purpose through group of students with special needs organised as part of the Student organisat ion. During 2016 the NA intends to promote this extrafunding with more emphasis during the promotion of KA1 activities to HEIs and especially during the kick of meeting for beneficiaries since they play a vital role in motivatingstudents to part icipate in mobil i ty.In VET the share is a bit higher and the schools take the situation of their students more into consideration however they face a bit different situation. In VET mobility students goabroad for practical placement mostly in businesses and there i t is much moe difficult to organise special conditions for learners with special needs. Nevertheless the schools offerfull support to leraners who express the motivation and implement the mobil i ty if possible.
The NA plans participation in TCA activit ies related to participation of learners with special needs to enhance the awareness and empower schools to include such learners.

Please add below any comments if necessary, concerning your additional objectives.
The NA has analysed the success rate of applications in KA1 and KA2 in 2014 and 2015 Calls. Share of applications reaching the minimum quality treshold for selection hasdecreased slightly in both key activities from 2014 to 2015 (for KA1 from 70% to 63,7% and for KA2 from 52,4 % to 46,8 %). The number of applications submitted did decreasehowever the demand is st i l l in the range of expected (satisfactory number of applications submitted compared to the number of potential applicants and available funding). Alsothe stated shares represent a high number of projects being ranked on the reserve l ist , not being selected (due to lack of available funds).
The NA insists on high relevance and high quality. We already reacted to the decrease in the share of quality projects by providing range of support to potential applicants for Call2016: workshops (stressing common weak points in past applications), webinars, councelling, handbooks etc.. However we will not know the effect of these activities before the Call2016 has been finalised (July 2016). Therefore we proposed shares in 2016 Work Programme as stated. These shares were submitted and approved by the EC for WP 2014 and2015 (both, yearly targets as well as the target for 2020), so based on our current evidence the trends remain the same.

Please describe the system that ensures:

. respect of compliance with the EU requirements for the NA organisation and the management of the Erasmus+ programme. In case the NA has an external quality certification and will build its assurance on relevant elements of this certification, it can refer to these elements in II.4.1 and describe them inII.4.2.Please describe how the NA will ensure the quality of the NA management system, taking into account
a.proper planning and management of activities - the update only if necessary.
Please update if necessary.
The organisational structure has only sl ightly changed during summer of 2015. The Erasmus+ unit has been more streamlined into one single organisational unit . The objective isto achieve even better communication in the unit i tself among coordinators of Erasmus+ activit ies, through that more streamlined procedures, better transfer of knowledge,information and experience.
Everything else regarding the NA management system remains unchanged. The NA has documented all internal procedures in l ine with ISO standards during 2015.

II.5.2. Allocation of Funds
If relevant, please explain how the NA plans to set up the grant allocation policy following the established rules. In that respect the NA attention is drawn to the fact that whilegranting only quality projects, the NA has to allocate funds with a view to respect the initial budgetary allocation.
The NA respects fully the initial budgetary allocation enforcing the following principles in funds allocation:- first priority is to commit 100% of available funding to projects in individual field/key action according to the quality of projects- if uncommitted funds are available (in the past only due to too large budget requested of the first project on the reserve l ist) , they are transferred to other key action in the samefield or in other fields, depending on the quality of projects in the reserve list .
a)KA2 - Strategic Partnership
If the NA opts for carrying out distinct selection panels for the two types of Strategic Partnerships, the indicative grant allocation policy shall be indicated in the table below:
Strategic
Partnership
in the field of:
% of KA2 funds allocated to the
Strategic Partnerships for innovation
% of KA2 funds allocated to Strategic

practices
Higher education Not Applicable Not Applicable
VET N.A. N.A.
School education N.A. N.A.
Adult educat ion N.A. N.A.
Youth N.A. N.A.
Please stress the reasons for proposing the allocation policy indicated above.
The NA has analysed the selection results compared to applications for the first two Erasmus+ calls and decided to continue with the system as i t was in 2015 for all f ields, that isto have one selection panel per education field. The available funding is relatively low and to separate small budget into two even smaller budgets in relation to relatively highaverage budget requested would not result in more projects being selected. The NA will put a lot of emphasis on two dist inct types of Strategic partnerships during promotionalactivit ies and especially during external evaluators training so the proportionali ty aspect is well understood and implemented during evaluation.

PART III-TRANSNATIONAL COOPERATION ACTIVITIES BETWEEN NATIONAL AGENCIES
III.1. Overall objectives
Please describe the NA's overall aim and the related objectives for the Transnational Cooperation Activities which it intends to undertake jointly with Erasmus+ NAs from otherprogramme countries, in the following areas*:1.Transnat ional t raining, support and contact seminars of potent ial programme part icipants2.Transnational thematic activit ies l inked to the objectives, priori ty target groups and themes of the programme3.Evidence-based analysis of programme results Please update if necessary.
The overall aim of the NA in the relation to the TCA is to support the implementation of NA's objectives and to maximise the impact of the implemented activities. Mainly thismeans to support part icipation in contact/ thematic seminars with themes directly supporting priori t ies and which lead to actual project applications of high quali ty. Addit ionallythe NA has decided to organise TCA events also by itself, to maximise the impact on national level ie for Slovene beneficiaries.
Specifically in 2016 the NA will use the TCA to strengthen the strategic impact of the programme on the national systems with the organisation of study visit for headmasters andpolicy makers to share and learn from best practices examples in other countries. The destination countries for specific fields will be decided in cooperation with the participants.
The NA has actively participated in discussions regarding the implementation of the TCA activities at the European level. In 2014 a problem with communication regarding theTCAs has been identified, a common platform set up during 2015. After the first TCA officers meeting in Tallin the communication regarding TCA improved immensely as did theorganisation of individual events.
NA Slovenia promotes the opportunities to participate in the TCAs widely. There is a dedicated website where offers are published, so the selection of participants in transparentand ensures equal treatment. If the topic is very narrow it is also possible for the NA to directly invite experts. The NAs procedure and relevant forms are publicly available onprogramme websi te :
- h t tp : / /www.erasmusplus . s i / razpis /kontaktn i -seminar j i /
- there is a common application form, priority is given to participants with no or little experience in activities like Erasmus+ (LLP)
- the evaluation sheet and the criteria are published as well
- evaluation of applications is done internally by NA staff
- selected participants are supported by the NA in organisation of the travel and the NA collects the reports after the activity is implemented.
The NA analyses the TCA proposals by other NAs in director’s meeting the objective is to offer all relevant topics/possibilit ies applicable to potential applicants, beneficiaries andstaff . The NA targets to support especially TCAs l inked to the objectives, priori ty target groups and themes of the programme and evidence-based analysis of programmeresults since these two areas are areas where the NA aims to improve i ts competencies.
