  1. The new governance model of education in Hungary and its implications for the evaluation of the quality of school leadership Synergies for Better Learning: An International Perspective on Evaluation and AssessmentOECD Review on Evaluation and Assessment Frameworks for Improving School OutcomesOslo, Norway, 11-12 April 2013Gábor Halász ELTE University Budapest - NIPE

  2. The context/1 • A new law on education (2011) • Fundamental changes affecting governance: • The maintenance of most schools has been transferred from municipalities to state authorities • All teachers and school leaders became employed directly by state authorities • Two parallel lines of state administration at regional/local level: sectoral and general • State supervision radically strengthened • The role of municipalities minimized

  3. The context/2 • The system is now in a state of transition: several details being not yet fully elaborated and many questions still being open • The details (e.g. specific evaluation procedures, evaluation instruments) are strongly shaped by the on-going EU co-funded development programs

  4. Two key elements with particular relevance for the evaluation of school leadership The new features of the overall system of state supervision The new teacher career model including a new mechanism of evaluation of teachers

  5. Challenges/1 • Tension between the legal/administrative and the professional dimensions • The risks of bureaucratisation • The key role of the quality of the evaluation instruments in use • Time pressure • The capacity of „experts” to use the sophisticated instruments (e.g. portfolios, parent surveys) in an intelligent way

  6. Challenges/2 • An evolving system demanding learning, high level cooperation and mutual adjustments in a low trust social-political environment • The management capacity of the state: national agencies being preoccupied by operational and micro-management problems • Financial sustainability (dependence on EU funds)
