At the turn of 2012, Dynamic University conducted a review of the performance measures in the area of education within the competence of the MoES based on the development planning documents and prepared recommendations for improvements to the list of performance measures. PROJECT OBJECTIVE The Ministry of Education and Science (MoES) concluded in the development planning process that very often there is no connection between the outcomes and outputs established by policy planning documents and their performance measures and that the number of those indicators is too big, thereby impairing the quality of performance measurement. At the turn of 2012, Dynamic University conducted a review of the performance measures in the area of education within the competence of the MoES based on the development planning documents and prepared recommendations for improvements to the list of performance measures. As a result of the review, the following two deliverables were prepared and handed at the disposal of the MoES:
