Category of themes:
Support initial and continuous training of teachers, trainers and education and training
institutions’ managers
Why ?
Quality assurance is an important lever of European vocational education and training (VET)
policy. The European quality assurance reference framework (EQARF) has been adopted
to promote better VET.
In the Netherlands, educational institutions have a high level of autonomy, working within
the framework set by the government where schools are responsible for providing high
quality services. The inspectorate monitors schools’ capacity to assure and improve
quality, working with risk-based inspection. Self-evaluation by schools is a starting point for
analyses.
What ?
Participants will learn about:
• quality assurance in Dutch VET;
• risk-based inspection;
• self-evaluation and quality assurance systems in VET schools;
• EQAVET in the Netherlands.
How ?
Participants will:
• meet stakeholders: Ministry of Education, inspectorate, association of VET providers, VET
school and national coordination point EQAVET;
• reflect on good practices;
• discuss the strong and weak points of quality assurance systems and their implementation.
Whom ?
• Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres or providers,
• directors of validation or accreditation centres,
• educational and vocational training inspectors,
• representatives of education and training networks and associations,
• representatives of local, regional and national authorities.
Short descrip tion in the host coun try’s language:
Quality Assurance is een belangrijke hefboom van de Europese BVE beleid. Dit Europese
referentiekader voor kwaliteitsborging is aangenomen om beter beroepsonderwijs en
opleiding te bevorderen.
In Nederland hebben de onderwijsinstellingen, die werkzaam zijn binnen de aangegeven
kaders van de overheid, een hoge mate van autonomie. Binnen dit kader zijn scholen
verantwoordelijk voor het verstrekken van diensten van hoge kwaliteit. De onderwijsinspectie
verzekert de capaciteit van de scholen door hierop toezicht te houden. Verbetering van
de kwaliteit, het werken met Risk Based Inspection, een vorm van zelfevaluatie door de
scholen, vormen het uitgangspunt voor analyses.
