E6 - Consultation with VET steakholders: Workshop/debate on needs of support for QA

Inside the project, UAH (Universidad De Alcala) organised the sixth consultation for steakholders (private, private publicly-funded and public schools) working in the Spanish vocational education.

Aim of the Consultation

  • Presentation of EQAVET and the European project OpenQAsS.

The questionnaire allowed partners to include any other comment or suggestion regarding all those aspects not dealt with in the questionnaire, or aspects that should be taken into further account.
 

Results

  • Fairly good interest on the theme
  • Availability to debate and compare Quality systems
  • Lack of opportunity to test new tools

Comments

  • Supporting systems should not overload the teachers: avoid entering the same information several times becauase tools are not connecting between them
  • Centers have to use some compulsory tools provided by authorities for specific processes (e.g. notification of student`s absence)
  • Quality management activities are allocated to teachers as yet another part of their already heavy workload
  • No resources for maintaining their own systems: centralized online system would be the best option
  • Interest in collecting feedback from students and other stakeholders
  • Self-reflection is OK, but managers are not allowed to supervise such information without a previous agreement with representation of workers
