Abstract
In order to pursue quality education in school, the Education Department set up the quality assurance framework for school education in 1997. This framework aims to achieve the due balance between providing support to school through school improvement and exerting pressure through accountability within this framework. External review on the performance of school is taken up by the Quality Assurance Inspection teams from Education Department and each school should carry out her self-evaluation. As part of school-based management, each school is engaged in on-going review of her strengths and weaknesses. This paper aims to discuss the development of school-based evaluation in Hong Kong by reviewing of related government policy papers and a case of an evaluated school.
