An intense and eventful school year has come to an end. Schools are using this well-deserved summer break to recharge and start the coming school year refreshed and with a fresh perspective. In this newsletter, “Schule heute” focuses on a topic that is becoming increasingly important: monitoring and evaluation in education. This affects the Office of Education itself—and, of course, our schools in particular.

This is not just about measuring performance, but first and foremost about better understanding learning processes, highlighting developments, and continuously improving the quality of our schools. Transparency and reflection—always with the goal of creating optimal conditions for students. The Office of Education invites you to explore this focus area and wishes you an engaging read as well as a relaxing and sunny summer break.
