Evaluation of recreational activities

The main goal of the external assessment of recreational activities is to ensure that the assessment is instructive and focused on progress and improvements, contributing to better operations.

The future vision is that through intensive school and recreation, children and adolescents acquire education and experience to realize their dreams and positively impact their environment and society.

Quality standards for recreational activities

Standards and indicators for recreational activities are organized into five chapters.

  1. Administration
  2. Recreational activities — youth centers/after-school programs 
  3. Human resources
  4. Local flavor
  5. Internal assessment

Quality standards and indicators for recreational activities were developed by a working group on internal and external assessment within the Department of Education & Youth and were published in 2015. These standards are used in the external assessment of after-school programs and youth centers in Reykjavík. They should also be useful for the internal assessment of each workplace.

The Ministry of Education and Children has also published quality standards for after-school programs, which serve as a useful resource for both internal and external reviews.
