School evaluation
There are requirements for both external and self-evaluation for all Slovak schools. External evaluation is conducted by the Slovak State Schools Inspectorate (Štátna školská inšpekcia, ŠŠI) against a standard quality indicator framework. Schools must also complete an annual school reporting exercise, including a two-year development plan. There are also efforts to feedback information to schools on how their students perform in comparison to students in other schools. Feedback from complex school inspections appears to be valued by schools. However, other, more bureaucratic types of inspection are perceived as burdensome with little value. The chapter presents options to make external school evaluation more relevant for school improvement and to further stimulate school self-evaluation that engages stakeholders and uses a broad range of evidence.
