Scotland's schools would be empowered to check and assess each other's performance under radical new proposals aimed at overhauling national inspections. The Greens want to replace external HMIe visits with a new, peer review-based system led by teachers working collaboratively across campuses and local authorities. The change is among a range of education reforms and improvements that have been outlined in the party's Holyrood election manifesto. Peer reviews are a form of internal, staff-driven appraisal in which schools cooperate in networks, challenging each other, collecting information through self-evaluation and visits, and providing feedback or support. The plan is modelled on the Finnish system, with some establishments in England using a similar arrangement.
