Abstract

The main aim of this chapter is to research characteristics and main issues of quality school distance education, issues of support for those involved, but also to develop a reflection on what this experience will leave behind. In the context of a case study, focus groups were conducted with students, teachers, school principals, even parents in two public primary schools in Athens. Thematic analysis of data by informants highlighted key thematic areas in a quality system such as inclusion, leadership, professional development, infrastructure and equipment, teaching and learning methodology, the legacy of the widespread use of distance education. The educational institution evolves in the context of developing a culture of quality and evaluation. Schools should reflect on their practices. All stakeholders in the school community should be empowered to shape each school's identity and character, aiming to continuous quality enhancement and development for all.
