Abstract
This work looks at Performance Indicators in the context of educational evaluation and attempts to offer guidance especially to college managers on the employment of such indicators. The work begins by noting both the ambiguity and subjectivity of all Performance Indicators as means of judging success, but proceeds to suggest a means by which Performance Indicators may usefully be applied to the educational context, first, by establishing the varied perspectives of evaluation from which evaluation is undertaken and from which educational objectives are established, and secondly by differentiating between different types of indicator used in particular contexts by groups interested in the educational process and in educational performance. Finally, a model for managerial evaluation which colleges might instigate with reference to different perspectives of evaluation and different types of indicator is outlined.Keywords
