External school assessments have not become obligatory under existing ordinances. However, many schools voluntarily have started to assess the validity of self-inspections and the self-evaluations. The main approach is to survey opinions of parents to help them to participate in accountability. Third party school assessments have been introduced in some schools and are carried out by third parties such as educational researchers, sometimes by involving them in the school boards.
