Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to discuss the issues surrounding educational monitoring systems.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper is a general review of the situation in Greece.

Findings

This paper suggests that a superior educational monitoring system aiming to alleviate educational and social inequalities as well as discrepancies between schools and/or between classrooms would rely on both attainment and progress criteria, as these criteria operate differently and allow to bring into the fore different aspects of problems/educational inadequacies.

Originality/value

The benefits and pitfalls associated with the employment of different criteria for educational monitoring are discussed, so that a new monitoring system can be suggested for the Greek setting of public primary and secondary schools.
