Abstract
A system for monitoring and forecasting human resources needs in education is a prerequisite for the successful functioning of the education system. The country's urgent need for such a system is already evident in the severe shortage of teachers in certain subjects, and will only become more acute in the future. The human resources issue must be tackled in a comprehensive manner, involving all the institutions involved in this field in Slovenia - the planners of school policies, the faculties that educate future teaching staff and the management of the educational institutions that employ teaching staff. The project will identify the quality of existing databases and the extent to which the available resources can be linked. The main research question is what would be the most appropriate system for monitoring and forecasting human resources needs in education in Slovenia, given the available and newly collected data. The main objective of the project is to build and pilot a system for monitoring and forecasting human resources needs in the field of education and training in Slovenia. The more specific objectives of the project are presented below.
Objectives:
Analysis of strategies for monitoring and forecasting human resources needs;
Review of existing data sources (databases, applications of the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, SURS, etc.) and assessment of the relevance and quality of the data;
analysis of the adequacy of access to databases and the relevance of the data in terms of data provision for the system of monitoring and forecasting of human resources needs in education and training;
assessment of the cross-matching of data and the possibilities of data exchange and linking of different databases;
Developing solutions for the design of a monitoring model and the elaboration of a strategy for forecasting human resources needs in education and training.
The phases of the project and their realization
1: Project management and coordination M1-12
2: Normative framework for education and training in Slovenia M1-2
3: Review of scientific and professional literature and identification of existing models for monitoring and forecasting human resources needs in education M1-2
4: Comparative analysis of relevant models for monitoring and forecasting human resources needs in education for Slovenia M2-4

7: Preparation of an instrument for the generation of new data sources (i.e. head teacher surveys, staff surveys, alumni surveys) M7-8
8: Preparation and implementation of a prototype model for monitoring and planning human resources needs in the field of education in Slovenia M9-11
9: Proposal for a national model for monitoring and forecasting human resources needs in the field of education, including the basis for a national strategy M11-12
