WIFI Upper Austria has always tried to be the example for its members; therefore in all areas of the Entrepreneurs academy culture of excellence is being implemented.

‘Quality policy is part of our mission,’ said the Head of the WIFI Entrepreneurs academy department Mrs. Volfsteiner (Frau Dr. Wolfsteiner). ‘Quality is determined by our thoughts and actions, and from our partners and suppliers we expect high quality and aspire for a long-term cooperation. The EFQM Excellence model offers us, the service provider, a comprehensive and integrated excellence approach.’

Experience of Dobele State Gymnasium in Latvia

object(stdClass)#346 (52) { ["id"]=> string(3) "158" ["title"]=> string(46) "Experience of Dobele State Gymnasium in Latvia" ["alias"]=> string(33) "dobele-state-gymnasium-experience" ["introtext"]=> string(1656) "

The Gymnasium’s mission is to create preconditions for each learner’s personal growth, development of self-driven learning skills and achievement of high level of competitiveness. Dobele State Gymnasium is a regional methodical center, which has high learning achievements and for ten years has been in the second place of ‘Draudzīgā aicinājuma’ rating.

According to the mission of the gymnasium - to achieve high level of learner’s competitiveness, it is necessary to find the appropriate solutions that would help to ensure such level. Excellence is one of the main arguments and driving forces behind high results.

We try to ensure that learners reach high learning achievements not only to keep the status of a state gymnasium, but also to fulfil the educational-methodical function in our region and to promote the name of Dobele in society. Our long-term goal is to create an environment where high results and high level of competitiveness could be achieved. Excellence approach is a comprehensive quality assurance opportunity; therefore we chose it to reach our goals.

Since 2010 within the framework of the project we used the GOA-WorkBench® software provided by Eurofortis IT and came to the conclusion that it is a suitable solution for the implementation of gymnasium’s development needs. Information on the quality management tools indicated that this approach is recognised and used globally also in the area of education.

The Gymnasium’s mission is to create preconditions for each learner’s personal growth, development of self-driven learning skills and achievement of high level of competitiveness. Dobele State Gymnasium is a regional methodical center, which has high learning achievements and for ten years has been in the second place of ‘Draudzīgā aicinājuma’ rating.

According to the mission of the gymnasium - to achieve high level of learner’s competitiveness, it is necessary to find the appropriate solutions that would help to ensure such level. Excellence is one of the main arguments and driving forces behind high results.

We try to ensure that learners reach high learning achievements not only to keep the status of a state gymnasium, but also to fulfil the educational-methodical function in our region and to promote the name of Dobele in society. Our long-term goal is to create an environment where high results and high level of competitiveness could be achieved. Excellence approach is a comprehensive quality assurance opportunity; therefore we chose it to reach our goals.

Since 2010 within the framework of the project we used the GOA-WorkBench® software provided by Eurofortis IT and came to the conclusion that it is a suitable solution for the implementation of gymnasium’s development needs. Information on the quality management tools indicated that this approach is recognised and used globally also in the area of education.
