	~~The Escola Móvel project~~ (~~Mobile School~~) ~~has emerged~~ as a ~~project of~~ distance learning ~~in Portugal, using a technology platform (LMS Moodle) to support learning for students~~ of the ~~3rd cycle of basic education, children~~ of occupational travelers, in order to meet the specific needs of this community in terms basic education. The curriculum of the Escola Móvel was initially constituted by the disciplines that make up the National Curriculum for Basic Education ~~3rd Cycle, with the exception of Physical Education.~~		“Ensino a Distância para a Itinerância” (EDI) - previously known as “Escola Móvel” - is a distance-learning project of the Portuguese Ministry of Education and Science aimed at ensuring regular schooling of those “travelling” students who would risk to drop out from compulsory education due to their need to move throughout the country over the year and change more than one school.
	~~The Escola Móvel project was extending its educational provision~~ and ~~implementation of distance education,~~ ensuring ~~the integration of different public and school providing compulsory~~ schooling~~, with the possibility~~ of ~~continuing studies in secondary education. In addition to the children of occupational travelers and~~ students~~, this project was expanded to include other children and youth~~ who ~~are at~~ risk of failure, early school leaving and social exclusion, especially young people supported by the institution Ajuda de Mãe (Help young Mother) and students over 15 years, for various reasons have not completed compulsory education~~. The work aims~~ to ~~provide differentiated learning contexts~~ and ~~individualized tutoring in conjunction with each educational area~~.

	~~''Sourced~~ from ~~Escola Movel website''~~		It is the case in particular of children and teen agers whose families work in the circus and fairs. Though the project addresses also other disadvantaged situations, such as hospitalized children, teenage mothers and drop-outs who for different reasons cannot handle the brick and mortar school.
			The initiative covers students in lower secondary education and – to a less extent upper secondary education - and ensure completion of compulsory education through distance learning.
			Although “online” and “at distance”, the virtual school is mostly based on the Portuguese national curriculum and follows the traditional school approach, being based on classrooms, subjects, time-table, assignments and grades, including transcripts at the end of the school year. The underpinning approach and pedagogy is however adapted to the needs of the specific target group and the mean adopted.

			The project develops from a previous initiative called “Escola Móvel”, launched by the Portuguese Ministry of Education and Sciences in school year 2005/2006 through the Department for Innovation and Curriculum Development, in cooperation with the different Regional Departments of Education and schools across the country.

	Escola Móvel started as a project designed and implemented in 2005/2006 by the Portuguese Ministry of Education through the Department for Innovation and Curriculum Development, in cooperation with the different Regional Departments of Education and schools across the country.
	This project aimed at responding to the '''needs of travelling families regarding their children’s education, since the constant movement between regions, towns and schools, made it extremely difficult for children and teenagers to attend classes regularly or feel motivated to engage in learning''', with high rates of dropout and failure.		This project aimed at responding to the '''needs of travelling families regarding their children’s education, since the constant movement between regions, towns and schools, made it extremely difficult for children and teenagers to attend classes regularly or feel motivated to engage in learning''', with high rates of dropout and failure.
	With the collaboration of a restricted group of teachers and the allocation of technological resources, Escola Móvel began to offer travelling children and teenagers the possibility to '''attend school every day through a virtual environment which provides both learning and socio-affective stability''', by allowing them to interact with the same teachers and classmates throughout the year.

	In 2008/2009 Escola Móvel '''started preparing its establishment as a state school, which took place on 31st July 2009'''. In fact, the growth in the number of students in a few years, from 13 to about 100, and the '''almost inexistent dropout and failure rates among these students''' - including in the national examinations – validate this school as an educational environment which responds to actual needs by giving specific students the opportunity to do or complete their schooling, and thus broadens their future opportunities.

	In ~~2009/~~2010 Escola Móvel ~~has kept on improving its response~~. The ~~enlargement of tutoring periods for individualised support has been one of~~ the ~~most significant changes~~, with ~~tutors meeting~~ the ~~students three/four hours a week~~ and ~~reinforcing~~ their ~~guidance during the “presential” weeks through face-to-face interaction~~. The school ~~has already enlarged its offer~~ for ~~upper-secondary students,~~ is ~~currently supporting home-schooling as well as students who are unable~~ to ~~attend their school for~~ more than ~~three months~~. The teachers have ~~also~~ been ~~developing~~ and ~~improving virtual resources~~ with the ~~support of subject experts~~.		In 2010, Escola Móvel ceased to be a "state school" and the Ministry turned it back into a pedagogical project, also as a consequence of the need to save resources at the light of the economic crisis. The name was then change into its current denomination “Ensino a Distância para a Itinerância” and it was decided to move the project from the Ministry department into the school community, building partnerships with physical schools in order to host the virtual school in their premises and rely on their organizational and financial infrastructures.

			The project is now hosted by one school in the Lisbon Region which –together with the north is considered the areas where “travelling” students concentrate the most (although for the future the idea is to base it in more than one school in Portugal).

			The school hosts teachers and provides the logistics and organizational infrastructure for the virtual school. In the current academic year (2011/2012), 120 students are covered by the project.
			While most of the features and achievement of Escola Móvel have been maintained, the current organization of the distance school had to adapt to the different conditions where it operates now and evolved on the basis of the lesson learnt by working with students through the years.
