NorArar Education NGO  carried out the first study of the school’s internal evaluation policy and its implementation in Armenia in 2022

What is School  Internal Evaluation? International evidence shows that Internal School Evaluation leads to a number of positive changes, such as;

• analytical reflection on the quality of education at the school level and the work on improving it,

• sensitivity to areas in need of improvement, planning goals and directions for improvement,

• identification of staff professional development needs,

• improved accountability, transparency, and participation of key stakeholders in education and enhanced democratic culture,

• the responsibility to initiate changes in schools.

Taking into account the challenges of the internal evaluation process in Armenian public schools, NorArar Education NGO  carried out the first study of the school’s internal evaluation policy and its implementation in Armenia in 2022.

The study was carried out in the framework of the DATA project “Data for Accountable and Transparent Activities” launched in 2020, with funding from the Eurasian Partnership Foundation.
