Research summary

Education remains the great force for building peoples and nations, as it plays a role in the development of human forces which is reflected in the development of those peoples. Therefore, the current research aims to improve the quality of general education outcomes in Yemen by presenting a suggested visualization for the implementation of
the quality assurance and school accreditation system in primary and secondary schools.

 

The research relied on the descriptive survey method, as the reality of general education quality indicators was identified and the difficulties faced, in addition to knowing the concept of quality and school accreditation in education, discussing the requirements for its application in schools, and reviewing the experiences of countries in applying quality assurance and school accreditation at the schools. Thus, the research reached several results, the most important of which are:

1. The indicators of general education in Yemen showed the low level of quality of the educational process, which contributed to the low level of student achievement, especially that the educational process in general education schools in Yemen faces many difficulties in many areas, including: the field of school administration, teacher advancement and their training, infrastructure (school building and laboratories), school curriculum and community partnership.

2. The process of applying quality assurance and school accreditation contributes to improving the performance and the quality of educational outputs, in light of administrative, legislative, financial, and educational requirements. The quality assurance and school accreditation models also indicated that the process of obtaining school accreditation is carried out by specialized bodies and according to specific criteria, through self-evaluation and external evaluation
(accreditation).
