Purpose of the project
The project primarily addresses the requirement of vocational education and training (VET) providers and other national education and training stakeholders to systematically improve their quality assurance framework and processes in line with the EQAVET framework.
Content of the project
The project is structured as four work packages: WP1 – Project management, WP2 – Communication and dissemination, WP3 – Quality assurance support to vocational education and training providers and WP4 – Quality assurance support at the level of the vocational education and training system.
The main activities for supporting VET providers will be:
- further developing and implementing a modern online self-evaluation app;
- developing a guided online self-evaluation app that will provide providers of vocational education and training with easier access and transparency, and facilitate their operations in the field of self-evaluation and quality assurance. It will present examples of good practice in the field of self-evaluation of schools and teachers;
- further developing international peer reviews of quality assurance;
- promoting the use of international peer review of quality assurance methods and the provision of peer learning to vocational education and training providers so as to ensure that the European Peer Review Quality Areas and Criteria for Vocational Education and Training handbook is used to evaluate activities that promote sustainable development in educational institutions and, where necessary, further develop criteria; and
- encouraging and empowering VET providers to set up new or improve existing internal quality assurance systems (we will provide tailored training).
Peer review will be carried out at the systemic level in Slovenia, while EQAVET NRP representatives from Slovenia will be engaged as peer reviewers at the level of the EU system. External evaluation of VET providers’ internal quality assurance systems should serve as a starting point for the planning and development of further activities as part of national support for VET providers in their quality assurance efforts.
An online platform for collecting data from VET providers will be developed for the purpose of reporting data on EQAVET indicators at system level. To ensure the dissemination, profile and durability of the project and its results, we will use a variety of events, communication channels, online tools, materials and networks.
