7th International Congress of the Quality Management in the Systems of Education and Training – CIMQUSEF' 2010

Within the whole world’s areas, a new way of education and training management is capitalizing on the implementation of coordination and evaluation tools of the policies progressively getting away from states stranglehold.

The installation by supranational (European Commission) and international ( for example UNESCO, OECD, the World Bank) organizations of comparisons and international benchmarks, of performance indicators, the spreading of "good practices", are stimulating the countries to converge their national policies.

These performance measuring tools are aiming to ensure the quality and the efficiency of the education and formation systems. A results duty, from an Anglo-Saxon origin, is by this way coming up, reaching all the education levels.

The orientation of educative policies and the choice of the reforms to adopt are now getting based on the indicators arsenal. Most of the countries – developed or developing countries – are following an education management logic taking its roots in common criteria’s allowing the comparison between countries. In practical terms, several mechanisms are used to facilitate such a management, thinking for example about internals or externals audits and evaluations of education and training institutions, allowing to feed the intentional education reports such as «the key figures of education In Europe », « the key figures of higher education In Europe », « the collection of education worldwide data’s », «the sights on education, the OECD indicators ».

The international studies from the IEA (PIRLS & TIMSS), from the PISA, from the UNESCO (MLA), from the CONFEMEN (PASEC) and from SACMEQ allow another kind of management based on students’ skills evaluation. The countries taking part to these studies are sharing the technical expertness on the ground of evaluation and are disposing of a real dashboard which is offering to them an evaluation of their system and allowing them to compare their performances with others.

The congress will treat the education systems management issue and the formation under the use of indicators matter. In this aim, participants are asked to debate different topics, e.g.:

Education and training 2010

Decided in Barcelona in 2002, the "Education and training 2010" program is aiming to coordinate the action of the European states on three objectives. The method is here standing on the benchmarks. Which assessments can we derive from their implementation? Which analyze can we build from this kind of management of public policies combining the benchmarks and the Open Method of coordination?
