The applicant for the project is ZŠ Komenského Street 6, Stará Ľubovňa, which is the largest school in the city. Currently, the school has 582 students and the assumptions are that the number of students has an increasing tendency. Educational process is provided by 66 employees. As the representants of educational facility, we are trying to make the process of managing our school effective, so we are able to sustain the situation in competitive environment regarding providers of elementary education in our town. In this year, we managed to enrol in the first year the highest number of students among 5 elementary schools in Stará Ľubovňa. Although, this is the evidence of our quality, we still feel highly responsible for the enhancement of our weak spots; also we feel the urge to use all of the available opportunities for our further development in the area of management. One of the ways to achieve this, is focusing on the evaluation of current management and complex activities of the school, and learning how to assess using measurable qualitative and quantitative indicators. School, as the public institution, needs to improve its image regarding quality and effectiveness of management and providing services for its clients (pupils and their parents, other organisations). The present managerial approach brings great results, however we are aware that managing higher number of employees in various divisions requires establishing of the basic fundamentals in larger scale, including co-operation, self-assessment, responsibility. Moreover, to achieve the goal of the organisation it is necessary to propose several possible solutions which are fitting the given situation. We are given the chance to attend a course focusing on the evaluation of the quality in managing the organisation, which is represented by the method „EFQM – excelentné riadenie“applied on the educational facilities. The goals of the project are: Implementation of the excellent management at our school, which will result in more effective management of our school by the multilateral interaction of the employees and clients (pupils, their parents and the other organisations). This will lead to the improvement of the educational process, which will be reflected on the results of our pupils, in the satisfaction of our employees and in the interaction of our pupils, teachers, parents and other institutions. We chose the company Eurofortis IT as a project partner which was offered by the course focused on the give method „EFQM – excelentné riadenie“. It is a professional organization, providing „knowhow“ in the area of further improvement of effectiveness of school management, using method Excellence EFQM. Course is designed in a way so the method „Excellence“ is understandable and easily applicable on the educational facility. Theory is combined with practical team activities. The project will consist of 12 participants of the foreign mobility in the structure of: 2 non-pedagogical and 10 pedagogical employees. For the successful and smooth realisation of the project, there will be a project team consisting of a project manager and a financial manager. Each of the members will have certain competency, duties and responsibility, and they will work together.
