- Education quality depends on trained facilitators/teachers
- A learner-centric approach is valued
- Good resources and facilities are provided
- Curriculum and material is relevant to learners
- Family and societal support is offered
- Gender-sensitive design is incorporated
- A safe and conducive learning environment
The standard aims to help educational establishments improve quality by incorporating these concepts and objectives into their teaching and training methods.
ISO 21001 also recognises that technology is revolutionising every facet of the education system, from streamlining homework assignments and marking to giving special needs students more personalised support.
ISO 21001 certification is intended to ensure that education providers are offering the highest quality instruction available to learners. In the coming years, ISO 21001 will be increasingly recognised as an independent measure of an education provider’s quality. Therefore, any organisation that offers teaching and training will benefit from having their education management assessed against the standard.
Benefits of the ISO 21001 EOMS include:

Before you can initiate the certification process, your organisation will need to implement an Educational Organisations Management Systems assessment according to ISO 21001 requirements. All stages in this process must be thoroughly documented.
For the certification process itself, we work with you to implement the following steps:
- Documentation review audit: Das Pakistan evaluates your documentation and company records
- On-site audit: our experts review the compliance of your actual activities to ISO 21001 requirements and company records
- Close the gap: your organisation identifies and implements measures to correct the root cause of any non-conformances identified by the audit
- Certification issuance: we issue the ISO 21001 certificate and certification mark. You can then use Das Pakistan widely recognised quality assurance mark on your branding and promotional material
- Surveillance audits: An annual audit is required to maintain certification validity
