About Quality Assurance of Schools under DSS

Upon conducting CR and renewing the SA with the Government, schools under DSS are required to undergo External School Review (ESR). While the timing for conducting ESR has been set out in the renewed SA, the procedures and requirements of ESR for DSS schools are the same as those for public sector schools. For DSS schools not bound by SA with the Government, the overall arrangements for conducting ESR are the same as those for public sector schools.
