Evaluation of
elementary and high schools

More than 510 000 data for more than 3 700 schools

INEKO considers a significant growth in the wages of the pedagogues to be a necessary condition of the increase and the sustainability of the quality of our education system. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain its effectiveness on the highest level, which is impossible without measuring the results. We hope that publishing them in a user friendly way will help direct the discussion, so that the future generations will be educated even better.

Project

If people have quality information, they can make better decisions based on them. Therefore, we think that through this project we can help the parents of the future students and the schools as well, because by comparing with one another, they will be motivated to better results.

Web

The portal enables the users to view the profiles of individual schools, as well as all schools within a region or a district, compare the results and create customized charts of shortlisted schools according to the selected indicators.

Data

For the evaluation of the schools, we tried to acquire indicators covering last three years that are recorded on the national level, by a renowned institute and should represent quality of educational process or conditions and results of students.

Rankings

Which schools have students with the best results? Which have the highest employment rates of their graduates? You can find the answers to your questions with the help of your own chart.

We offer the information on primary and secondary schools, which exist on the national level and describe the results of the students, or the conditions for teaching. If people have quality information, they can make better decisions based on them. Therefore, we think that through this project we can help the parents of the future students and the schools as well, because by comparing with one another, they will be motivated to better results.

Rankings do not comprehensively evaluate the quality of a school, but they inform about the students’ results. These results do not consider the differences between the students of individual schools caused by various factors other than the educational process (such as the different social background), they do not cover the whole content of education and they do not assess the added value of a school, that is, what skills and knowledge has the school delivered to its students. Rankings can therefore be a useful indicator when choosing a school, but they should mainly draw the public into the discussion about the quality of schools.

For acquiring a more precise image, the parents should ask the schools about the further prospects of the students, either in enrollment on universities, or when entering the labor market. Important are also information on the performance of the students in various competitions, on the technical equipment, or the structure of the classes.
