Abstract:
The education management must be seen as a
science operating on educational activities via an optimal
global or strategic approach, and also as a model of
performance management, applicable at the level of
education institutions. The purpose of this study is to offer
a summary on the theoretical basis of the concepts of
performance management and quality assurance in
education, through a comparative analysis of quality
systems in education in European states and Romania.
Starting from the hypothesis that, if each educational
institution is grounded on a set of guidelines resting on
values and principles, known and adhered to by all
factors involved in the system, this entails quality
education delivered via an efficient management, we have
set up an analysis of procedures, instruments and ways of
drawing up the external institutional evaluation report, in
a comparative approach between European and
Romanian secondary education systems.
