The most important indicators for providing high-quality education according to providers` opinion The respondent demonstrated an inconsistent approach to understanding quality as ability of an institution to achieve its goals:The respondents highlight the successful (in the relevant professional area, well-paid) employment of alumni, their achievements (since the beginning of the training), and employers’ satisfaction (as a key criterion of the high-quality education). Some respondents highlight the importance of fulfillment of regulatory requirements. This is an analog of a national key indicator which states that a qualification should meet the professional standard. Some respondents indicate the importance of managing the quality of a learning process. Some respondents indicated the lack of time and resources for analysis to be a cause of problems with analysis and evaluation that correlates with the conclusion made about the implementation of the descriptors within CQAF VET model. We also may state a relatively weak focus on the relevant needs/demands, supposedly because of indicators of the labor markets needs which are not transparent enough. Another bottleneck which has been mentioned is the deficiency of time and resources for providing the high-quality education. The main challenges associated with the involvement of teaching staff and the necessary measures of support refer to the conformity of the teaching staff qualification. The other significant group of challenges refers to managing the learning process and education institution as a whole, especially to the quality management. The respondents put a greater emphasize on the government support to educational organizations as a whole as well as to individuals (teachers and trainers). They highlight the necessity to support cooperation with employers and partners. The respondents wish to get informational — methodological as well as regulatory — methodological support via a professional development system. They are interested in being more involved in the management processes in their educational organizations. Suggestions / amendaments / to the model The respondents suggest evaluating the quality of teaching with no regard to the quality of management of an educational organization, thinking that even poor managed organizations may provide the high- quality teaching. None of the respondents indicated that improvement of the quality of education quality is possible to achieve if the following conditions are met:
Thus, along with Croatian specificity discovered within the project, it is worthwhile to put a greater emphasize on the understanding of the customers’ requirements, setting the goals, and managing the education organization relying on the quality principles.
