Furthering quality assurance mechanisms for adult education in Croatia
|
|
Since 2020 Croatia has been developing a quality assurance system for adult education. So far, a comprehensive model has been proposed, including manuals for self-assessment and external evaluation of adult education providers. Twenty-five providers have been included in piloting self-assessment and external evaluation in 2021. Establishing an external evaluation committee and further support to providers is underway in 2022. For the first time, Croatia also participates in the PIAAC survey, piloted in 2021, which will be undertaken in 2022.

EQAVET-based quality management system for formal VET institutions in Hungary
|
|
A comprehensive reform of the Hungarian VET system has been implemented and a national quality management system (QMS) for formal VET institutions is being developed. The QMS is based on self-evaluation and the EQAVET framework. It will consist of a quality policy, self-evaluation (supplemented by a self-evaluation guidebook published by the government), external evaluation criteria and evaluation of VET teacher-trainers. Formal VET institutions are required to elaborate their QMS by 31 August 2022, with support available from the NRP and sectoral governance bodies.
