Managing better: Measuring institutional health and effectiveness in vocational education and training

  • Current national system-level performance measures are insufficient for producing and maintaining quality vocational education and training (VET) institutions.

  • The model of performance measures suggested for VET institutions identifies relevant indices across the three dimensions of inputs (institutional resources, staff and student characteristics), processes (for example, quality of decision-making, institutional climate and culture) and outputs/outcomes (for example, student and employer satisfaction). Because of the importance of processes in linking and mediating inputs and outcomes, the model gives priority to measures relating to processes (such as quality of decision-making and institutional climate and culture).

  • Institutional self-monitoring and self-evaluation are considered significant challenges in improving the effectiveness of the VET system.
