Quality development at school by the means of the certification programme

Both developments - quality development at school specified by ministries of education and Internationale Agenda 21-Schule (INA) certification programme that schools participate voluntarily in – have similar goals referring to qualitative further development of the school in quality areas specified above. Furthermore, quality development at school specified by ministries of education includes all areas of schooling and school life from educational, political and didactical viewpoints. As for Internationale Agenda 21-Schule (INA) certification programme, especially aspects of sustainable development and education for sustainable development have priority as for quality development of schooling and school life.

In order to have comparable objective it would be helpful if on one hand ministerial intention “Quality development at school” and Internationale Agenda 21-Schule (INA) certification programme proceeded in their process indicators further consecutively and on the other hand if more and more schools got involved in them. Thus, there would be a chance from the long-term viewpoint to develop Internationale Agenda 21-Schule (INA) certification programme in coordination with ministries of education into a certification instrument for schools.
