Internal and external evaluations
Predefined quality standards ground both self-evaluations and external evaluations of school and recreational activities. The assessment is either conducted by workplace managers and staff (internal evaluation) or external parties (external evaluation).
The office of the Department of Education and Youth is committed to supporting internal evaluations at individual workplaces as a key driver for advancing school and recreational activities.
Internal evaluation
All workplaces within Reykjavík City's Department of Education and Youth conduct structured internal evaluations. This process combines professional reflection with an assessment of how effectively each workplace meets its quality and performance goals against standards set by laws, regulations, national curricula, and internal targets.
External evaluation
Independent external parties evaluate the quality of school and recreational activities against current standards established by laws, regulations, and national curricula.
