Quality indicators for SNE - Estonia

Quality Indicators for SNE

According to a draft law now under discussion in the Estonian Parliament, pre-school childcare institutions, general education schools and vocational schools are obliged to conduct internal evaluation. The draft states that an educational institution must prepare a complete internal evaluation report on the institution’s activities at least once every three study years. Internal evaluation would mean analysing schooling and education and management, taking into account the aims of the educational institution and also analysing the efficiency of the institution in making decisions for future development. The internal evaluation report shall be based on criteria which define the fields to be evaluated. The criteria as well as data on the institution’s activities include quality indicators on special needs education.
