Private Sector Examples
    The need to distinguish high-quality schools from others in the private sector has led to serious professional work aimed at creating quality verification systems. This induced thinking about definitions of quality, and brought about what are now widely known as accreditation systems, consisting of “quality criteria”. These are lists of statements about how things “should be” in what professionals consider an ideal language school, against which the actual situation in a particular language school can be measured. To get accredited as a quality school, a language school must satisfy a certain number of these at a certain level.
