<title>Governing By inspection - insights from international studies</title>
<link>http://stadium.open.ac.uk/webcast-ou/</link>
<description><![CDATA[
	.

	An event that will examine school inspections across Europe

	School inspection is employed in a number of countries as a means by which to govern increasingly complex education systems. Despite a tenuous link between inspection and school improvement, it remains a key driver in the shaping and implementation of education policy, as well as taking a central role in the politics of educational change.

	This seminar draws on three national and international research projects in order to examine perspectives on school inspection in Europe. The first project: Governing by Inspection investigates inspection as a governing practice in England, Scotland and Sweden; the second, explores the relationship between school improvement and inspection in &nbsp;six countries, and the third investigates accountabilities in inspection.
