Assuring Quality in Education: Policies and Approaches to School Evaluation in Europe

Holding schools to account for the quality of the education they provide and driving forward improvement is fundamental to education in the UK.

A new report from Eurydice explores how European countries approach the evaluation of the quality of education in their schools.

The report comprises a comparative overview covering self-evaluation and external inspection, alongside individual national profiles which provide an overview of how quality assurance operates in each country.

It considers the responsible bodies, frameworks, procedures, outcomes and publication of the results of external evaluation, as well as the qualifications required of school inspectors.

It also looks at the status of internal or self-evaluation, who undertakes it (school staff, parents, students and/or other stakeholders) what support is available to them and how the results are used.
