  10. "Inspecting the Future" The SICI workshop, Bratislava, 5 - 7 June 2013 Crucial 1989 visions of change Freedom of teachers highlighted. Deliberation from political influence = Professionalisation „Unified education“Discussing +plurality in approaches • 1989 spirit of the time • Sort of shift to learning outcomes based curricula („standards setting“ - but freedom, not accountability!!) • Redefinition of the role of inspection, dividing its two original roles ( quality check and advisory) – Athletics • No responsibility for performance of schools !!! • New „sectoral“ governance autonomy of schools. Juraj Vantuch,05/06/2013

  11.

  19. "Inspecting the Future" The SICI workshop, Bratislava, 5 - 7 June 2013 Slovakia has one of the lowest rates of public spending on education in the EU. One of the underlying topics of the current economic policy is to find out how to invest into education while complying with the set fiscal targets. The Slovak Government intends to increase expenditures on education to 6% of GDP by 2020. It must be noted, however, that the funds have to be provided in an efficient manner. To that end, sources of inefficient spending in education will be searched for, which should provide room for improved funding. The Government will primarily focus on the streamlining of the network of schools and adjusting the number of teachers to demographic development.
