zero / less than needed /sufficient / more then I wish
• I go to work:
with a sigh / neutral / hopeful / whistling
Some quotes from Report 1
• Sometimes I am afraid for the quality of our education
because... too much concern for quality.
• Quality requires time, which is more and more
difficult to release
• In theory we have a lot of quality,
but in practice little material can be found

Some quotes from Report 2
• How do I feel in the morning, on the road to my job?
whistling
hopeful
with a sigh
neutral
• Our personal autonomy is the reason why dealing with
stress, tension and pressure still remains feasible.
• We need less ‘management’ and more leadership,
with vision and charisma.
Some quotes from Report 3
• Good enough is not good enough
• Quality is :
to bring out the best of every employee

do I spend on quality:
much
