At the present time, the most well-informed sectors of society are turning their attention to education and training systems in the hope that these will contribute towards providing an adaptive response to the challenges of this new social and economic context. The need for wise choices, in terms of defining and implementing education policies, has never been so pressing. This research poses the production of an analytic framework to evaluate quality of educational governance at system level. For this, the development of a system of subjective indicators, resting on a robust previously defined conceptual framework, has been made. This system has been refined and validated by means of a three successive rounds Delphi procedure and has finally been structured into 6 dimensions, 20 subdimensions and 88 items. An exploratory study for applying the tool to the Spanish case enabled its reliability to be tested. On the basis, of the empirical results obtained, the quality criteria for educational governance that have turned out to be the most important are analysed and discussed, and conclusions are drawn on how education can be improved.
