Each Quality Indicator is subdivided into themes.<br />

There are a few core research questions: How effectively does a school work? What is the quality of<br />

teaching and learning processes and what are the achievements of students? What is the quality of the school<br />

management? These questions were answered according to a four level assessment system:<br />

Level 4 – very good: mostly strengths prevail; major<br />

improvements not required<br />

Level 3 – good: strengths prevail ; drawbacks – easily<br />

overcome<br />

Level 2 – mediocre: a number of strengths, but some serious drawbacks;<br />

managerial support and additional resources required to improve the situation<br />

Level 1 – unsatisfactory: drawbacks prevail<br />

Immediate improvements required<br />

The basic principles of the evaluation process are:<br />

• The process has to assist a school to improve its achievements<br />

• The evaluation process is planned on the basis of School Self- Evaluation and Development<br />

Planning.<br />

• The same criteria are used in School Self -Evaluation and External Evaluation.<br />
