Abstract There is no doubt that the education provided is considered of public interest and its quality contributes decisively to a country’s social, cultural and economic development. Both economic and social conditions are constantly changing and evolving, in the same way as citizens’ needs. The evaluation of the educational system and within it the educational work is now a necessity imposed by the society itself and its evolution. In Europe and throughout the civilized world, there is intense mobility and reflection on the evaluation of education systems in general either of the educational work at the level of the school unit to the point where the evaluation has evolved a separate scientific field. In contrast to our country, despite the abundance of instruments for evaluation of educational work within the school unit and the teachers, it has not yet been seriously implemented in practice. Investigating the relevant biography and the concerns expressed by the educational world as a whole through research into the factors that make it difficult to apply the assessment in our country and the new attempt to evaluate a school unit and the educational project that will be launched by the ministry of education, with new objectives formed the basis of our reflection and defined the goals of our research The research was conducted on the basis of the theory of "triangulation" and was based on a qualitative approach with an interview tool and quantitative with the questionnaire tool. The aim of the survey was to gather the views of teachers to evaluate, the ministry of education’s effort to introduce the self-evaluation of the school’s educational work and to look after this process for fairer distribution of resources. An effort is also made to record teachers' assessment of the school's existing pedagogical autonomy and the prospects of strengthening it through the self-assessment process. The research process shows that teachers are in favor of the evaluation of the educational project, with a form of internal evaluation - self-assessment, for a process that will improve the co-operation and responsibility of the participants in order to improve the school’s educational work and a more equitable the allocation of resources between schools. They still think that there is currently no pedagogical autonomy in the functioning of the school unit and they would like to make decisions on issues related to their pedagogical work without linking this opportunity directly to the self-evaluation.
