The aim of the paper is to discuss the importance of school (self-) evaluation capacity building within quality assurance system in education in Slovenia. The research is focused on self-evaluation training program in 245 educational institutions. The results demonstrate its importance and pinpoints several challenges, i.e.: “how to build organizational (leaders’) evaluation capacity”, “learning transfer in practice”, and “how to choose among various evaluation capacity building strategies”. Building upon empirical findings, the paper suggests that the training as a sole strategy for capacity building does not suffice in the competitive, quality-driven educational context. Correspondingly, the model of self-evaluation capacity building for schools is presented and discussed.
