ISO 21001: 2018 Educational organizations - Management systems for educational organizations - Requirements with guidance for use

 

Overview

Education is not only a basic right, but a fundamental part of society, so the quality of educational providers is everyone’s concern.

 

While they can’t necessarily guarantee outcomes, there is a lot that educational institutes can do to stimulate learning and ensure learners are getting the level of quality they expect.

 

An ISO standard has being developed to help them do just that, and it has just reached a critical stage.

While an educational organization can never guarantee the success of its learners, there are a number of ways that it can more effectively meet their needs and contribute to better learning outcomes.

ISO 21001, Educational organizations - Management systems for educational organizations - Requirements with guidance for use, is a management system standard that is partially aligned with ISO 9001:2015 for quality management systems. 

  • It provides a common management tool for educational organizations aiming to improve their processes and address the needs and expectations of those who use their services.

 

The standard will also help educational providers align their activities effectively with their mission and vision and offer more personalized learning, both of which benefit not only learners but, thanks to improved processes and a system in place for their improvement across time, educators, parents and other stakeholders who will also reap results from the more consistent outputs.

The standard was published in May 2018. It is intended to be useful to all kinds of educational providers, from kindergarten to higher education, vocational training centres and e-learning services
