Authorisation standards of General Education Institutions in Georgian

Authorization standards and Evaluation of compliance with the standards

Compliance with the authorization standards of a general education institution is assessed on a four-level scale: “complies with the standard requirements"; “substantially complies with the standard requirements”; “partially complies with the standard requirements”, and “does not comply with the standard requirements”.

Definition of the evaluation scale for the component of the authorization standard of general education institution:
1.    A general education institution status seeker is evaluated in relation to the component of the standard as "complies with the standard requirements", if the resources available in the institution, the established practice/system and the achieved results (in the case of a new institution - the achievable expected results) fully ensure the satisfaction of the requirements of the component of the standard, the maintenance of the achieved level and further development. However, possible minor challenges do not affect the quality of the institution's activities. 

2.    A general education institution status seeker is evaluated against a component of the standard as "substantially complies with the standard requirements", if the institution has more strengths than weaknesses that do not significantly impair the quality of the institution's performance. The resources and established practices/systems within the institution mostly provides compliance with the standard component requirements and the institution can demonstrate relevant results. The institution has a readiness and standards-compliant plan to overcome weaknesses in the short term (no more than 12 months). 

3.    A general education institution status seeker is evaluated against a component of the standard as "partially complies with the standard requirements" if the institution largely fails to meet the requirements of the component and has weakness(es) that require the mobilization of significant resources to overcome. However, the institution has a readiness and standards-compliant plan to overcome the weaknesses within a specified period (not exceeding 24 months).

4.     A general education institution status seeker is evaluated against the standard requirement as “does not comply with the standard requirements” if the institution's weaknesses threaten the quality of the institution's activities and cannot ensure its development.
