Abstract
This policy note examines how five
countries: England, Finland, the Netherlands, New Zealand
and the Republic of Korea organize the supervision and
support of schools and teachers at the primary and secondary
levels. Countries are compared and contrasted according to a
framework consisting of seven aspects related to
supervision. A workshop to discuss a draft version of this
note as well as additional issues related to the overall
organization of quality assurance systems in education and
the Ministry's own current plans was held in Warsaw on
May 10, 2010. The study found that there are a number of key
issues in the provision of effective supervision and
support. These include the issues of where to locate
supervision and support institutionally, whether to keep
these functions institutionally distinct or not, how to
balance accountability and support, particularly given the
need for accurate information, additional financial
resources, and skilled human resources, and how to ensure
the perceived legitimacy of the system.
