After the educational organisation decided on the area and quality indicators that will be used to carry out an in-depth self-evaluation, it prepares a self-evaluation plan. The first step is formulating its own quality standards for the selected indicators. With this, the organisation defines what level of quality it wants to achieve. The organisation will later compare thus formulated standards of quality with the actual state of quality and evaluate where it has already reached the standards and where improvements or additions to the activities must be implemented to reach them.
