Manuals and Materials

The European network EQAVET and EQAVET NRP in Slovenia attempt to support vocational education and training by preparing and publishing different materials. Some of them are also available in printed version, and the most important ones can be found on this website in electronic form. The selected materials, created within the EAVET network, have been translated from English into Slovene, while the materials relevant for VET providers from the aspect of implementation of the National Framework for quality assurance in education and the EQAVET and EQAVET+ frameworks, are being prepared within EQAVET NRP in Slovenia. Most materials are available in Slovene language.


Self-evaluation that has been developing into an important factor in education is best planned and organised as a learning process. Self-evaluation provides a way to improve the functioning of an organisation and to set priority areas for development, as well as providing a fundamental insight into all school activities. What is more, self-evaluation is a process aimed at improving training quality. Its purpose is to obtain information on the functioning of a school. This information serves as a basis for planning improvements to be made to the functioning of an institution and its personnel, while avoiding targeting scapegoats. As well, self-evaluation helps schools analyse their activities, and provides appropriate feedback concerning those areas that should be changed. It is, however, of utmost importance that schools plan and carry out measures based on their findings.



Quality assurance and quality improvement are increasingly important for institutions providing vocational education and training (VET), and for educationa authorities throughout Europe. In the development of Quality areas, criteira and indicators, consideration has been given to the European Quality Assurance Reference Framevork for VET and its additional components (EQAVET+) and the current change in the operating environment of education and training.





In the new issue, we highlight the importance of the changes that took place in 2020 and 2021 to the future of vocational education and training. We especially present peer review as a form of external evaluation that complements the school’s self-evaluation and can significantly contribute to the development of the quality of the VET provider. News are available only in Slovene.
