This translates into a situation whereby the more accountability-oriented elements of the framework are receiving greater attention than processes for improvement, which leads to more limited local engagement in self-assessment activities, incipient practices of evidence-informed inquiry, and assessment and evaluation results not used to their potential. While there have been considerable national efforts to stimulate an evaluation culture by strengthening assessment and evaluation activities, as well as providing competency-building learning opportunities in some cases, the Review Team assesses that there are still limited evaluation and assessment competencies throughout the education system. There is great variation in the capacity for municipalities to develop and effectively use quality assurance systems. There is little information nationally regarding the qualifications of municipal education staff, but it seems a clear challenge for smaller municipalities to recruit staff with specific expertise in education.
