Schools are evaluated every seven years by teams of external evaluators who are recruited, selected, and trained by NASE, and who follow evaluation policies established by the MoES. Schools are assessed within an evaluation framework covering five domains - school culture, teaching and learning, student achievement, support for students and school management - and linked to 67 performance indicators. The conclusions of the external evaluation are presented to the school in a detailed report that outlines school’s strengths and weaknesses and provides recommendations for performance improvement.
