The QEP acts as a unified reference point for all those involved in the education system and society as a whole. It functions as a practical guide for teachers and an important framework for school leaders, staff, governing board members, and parents. Its main focus is on fostering the development of competencies, which involves students acquiring and utilizing a range of resources, including a body of widely accepted and shared knowledge.
