Potential cooperation based on exchanges of experience in assessing the quality of primary and secondary education must therefore take account of the fact that this is a particularly sensitive area. It must fully respect the responsibility of Member States for the content of their education and for organising their education and training systems, as well as their cultural and linguistic diversity.
Det mulige samarbejde omkring udveksling af erfaringer vedrørende evaluering af kvaliteten i skoleundervisningen skal derfor tage hensyn til, at der er tale om et særlig følsomt område, som til fulde må respektere medlemsstaternes ansvar for undervisningens indhold og opbygningen af uddannelses- og undervisningssystemer, ligesom disses kulturelle og sproglige forskellighed.
