Expanding the quality ‘spirit’ of VET (Q &VET)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012,

ReasonThe issue of quality and quality management in VET constitutes one of the major fields for development for the 40 years and in European Union a lot of resources have been devoted to increase the quality of VET. More than 50 different models have been developed within LLP-program, focusing on different aspect of Quality management in VET. Despite all the effort, the experiences shows that it is difficult for VET-organization structuring evaluation into new improvement initiatives. The available QA guides and kits are based on a fairly traditional model which focuses on “evaluation” rather than engaging the teaching staff on incorporation of evaluative ideas into practice. The experiences of the partnership, CEDEFOP and available research shows that the perceptions of the leadership and teaching staff concerning quality initiatives is one of the main barriers. They have different answers to questions such as need for QA, suitable QA-model, implementation, evaluation and review.
