What we do

The mandate of the NEI is to:

1. make an assessment of the standards attained by the students in our primary and secondary schools at key points in their education;
2. report on how well they perform or improve, as they progress through their school and learning life; and
3. make recommendations to support improvement in the quality of the provision and outcomes for all learners.

In carrying out its mandate, the NEI will:

1. carry out whole-school, thematic and subject inspections;
2. evaluate national and local initiatives; and
3. assess the impact of the policies of the Ministry of Education on student attainment.
