Internal Quality Assurance in Secondary Specialized and Vocational Education Institutions

Secondary specialized education institutions play a pivotal role in preparing learners for higher education, while vocational education institutions play a decisive role in preparing learners for the domestic and international labor market. Therefore, establishing and consistently developing an internal quality assurance system within educational institutions is of critical importance.

Procedure for internal quality assessment in an educational institution

Following the internal assessment, the educational institution submits the resulting report to the Agency in both electronic and paper form within the following timeframes:

At least one month before the start of specialized state accreditation

At least two months before the start of comprehensive state accreditation

Internal assessment is conducted in the academic year in which comprehensive state accreditation is carried out. In doing so, the assessment covers an analysis of the educational institution’s activities over the preceding two years, as well as the academic year in which state accreditation is conducted.

Objectives of Internal Assessment
