Quality observatory

The European Quality Assurance Reference Framework for Vocational Education and Training (EQAVET Framework), enshrined in the Recommendation of 18 June 2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of Ministers of the European Union, is designed to improve Vocational Education and Training (VET) in the European area by providing authorities and operators with common tools for quality management. promoting mutual trust, mobility of workers and trainees and lifelong learning.

EQAVET is a tool to be adopted on a voluntary basis, which allows to document, develop, monitor, evaluate and improve the efficiency of VET provision and the quality of management practices, involving regular monitoring processes, involving internal and external evaluation mechanisms, and progress reports, establishing quality criteria and indicative descriptors that underpin the monitoring and reporting by VET systems and operators; and highlighting the importance of quality indicators that support the evaluation, monitoring and quality assurance of VET systems and operators.

Considering the commitment that the Juncal Educational Institute has in relation to the quality of the education it provides, it seemed to us of great importance that this quality be recognized and certified externally, taking advantage of the support given in this process by the POCH.

Thus, the 2019-20 academic year will be a year dedicated to this certification whose process will count on the involvement of all stakeholders.
