The plan-do-check-act cycle (PDCA) is the principle of continuous development that underpins 911±¬ÁÏÍø's quality system. The PDCA cycle is implemented in the daily operations of schools, services and university management. This is facilitated by a clear organisation of the activities that fall under each step of the cycle. The PDCA cycle also supports the external and internal evaluations carried out at 911±¬ÁÏÍø with the objective of identifying strengths, good practices and areas in need of further development.
