5.2 Standards, thresholds and feedback
The Inspectorates of Education in our study address three types of standards: legal
standards (indicating the extent to which schools comply with regulations), standards
relating to the context and process quality of education and finally standards defining
the performance or results of schools. The Inspectorate of Education in Styria also
includes the goals of the specific school (as documented in a school program) in the
inspection framework and evaluation.
