Quality Assurance in the School Environment

Abstract

Quality of school is an important factor in terms of its existence. It is an important element in the decision-making of the applicants when choosing a school. Successful may be the high-quality schools that prepare pupils adequately for life. In the paper, we are dealing with the quality of the school environment in connection with the future employability and application of the secondary vocational school graduates in professional practice. We concentrate on the key competencies that make it easier for people to be successful at work and in social and personal life. We focused more on communication competencies and their individual components. We present the results of the KEGA project no. 016UCM-4/2017 "Implementation of the project of quality assurance for graduates in the practice of secondary vocational schools." We introduce the results of the research in relation to the evaluation of the acquisition of communication competences from the point of view of pupils. We also present the views of employers on the communication competencies of their employees ("fresh" graduates).
