System accreditation for schools and daycare centres strengthens autonomy and quality

Berlin enables schools and daycare centres to obtain system accreditation according to the university model, taking into account experience from external evaluations of the Berlin education programme. Accreditation is granted if the school's own quality management system fulfils the legal requirements for teaching concepts. Through system accreditation, schools and daycare centres take responsibility for their pedagogical concepts and gain more autonomy in developing their own approaches.
