The Inspectorate of Education

Our mission

The Inspectorate wants to be a professional and autonomously operating organisation. Within the legislative framework, she wants to guard, to stimulate and to guarantee the quality of education. With regard to the government she wants to guarantee that the investments made are justified.

The Inspectorate wants to offer parents and students a guarantee on the education’s quality. She recognizes and respects the pedagogic options, the individuality and the autonomy of each establishment of education.

By taken on a warning function, in combination with her nuclear role, the Inspectorate will inform the government on the state of education and on the results of their policy and legislation.
