In general

Measurably improved learning outcomes

ISO 21001 focuses on improving educational products and services so they meet learners’ requirements. It also applies to education units inside larger organizations — professional training departments and corporate academies.

Its guidance annexes (A to G) give extensive sector-specific help, and the framework fosters transparency, social responsibility and inclusive, equitable education.
