Inspectorate Profile: Scotland

Over the last 15 years, there has been increasing international recognition of the success of "the Scottish approach" to accountability and improvement. HM Inspectorate of Education (HMIE) has played a vital role in developing this approach, which is built on an explicit combination of internal and external evaluation. HMIE receives frequent requests to contribute to thinking about quality improvement in countries across the world. HM Inspectors are frequently invited to participate in a variety of events and activities abroad. They also regularly receive international visitors who are interested in their work and, in particular, in their approaches to evaluation.
