Use education surveys to gain insight from staff, students and parents to action policy changes and improvements to the curriculum.
Staff satisfaction

Event management
Determine event dates and locations, and collect registration details.
Administration forms

Learner Feedback
Student satisfaction surveys can help determine if your school or university is meeting learner needs. From quality of course materials, learning support and teaching methods to accessibility of student services and campus safety, there’s nothing that feedback can’t improve.
Parent Involvement
Send a school questionnaire to parents and guardians to better understand their involvement in their children’s education. In doing so, you can create the necessary channels to support home learning and enable students to meet academic goals.
Staff Satisfaction
Ask teachers, administrators and other faculty members if they’re satisfied with the amount of support and resources available to them. And determine the effectiveness of procedures and leadership structures in your institution.
Graduate Exit Surveys
With whole groups of students leaving at the end of each year, you have an opportunity to collect feedback on their entire educational experience. You’ll be able to determine if your institution has met the expectations of learners and parents and bench mark your progress annually.

Mobile surveys
All your projects on KwikSurveys are dynamic, meaning they will work seamlessly across all devices. This enables feedback to be given anywhere and anytime.
Segment and compare
Get a more detailed look at your data by segmenting feedback from your education community. For example, you could use the filtering tool to create separate reports based on student demographics.
Tip: If you’re going to ask demographic questions, save them for the end of the survey. Asking for personal information at the start of your survey will lead to a lower response rate. Take a look at our other tips for survey design.
Live results
Your data will be available in your report in real time, making your feedback actionable immediately.
Bench-marking
Longitudinal studies are important to documenting successes and failures of changes over time. For example, you could run a staff satisfaction survey to identify what changes you should make, then run it again at a later date to determine if your changes were effective. Continuously do this to bench mark your progress.
With KwikSurveys, you can run a survey multiple times and use comparison tool to compare the results of each run.
Tip: Don’t run surveys too frequently, this will lead to survey fatigue.
Custom reports
All the feedback you collect will be collated into a professional report. These results can be exported as a PDF or spreadsheet for paper distribution or access can be shared to the digital report with URL Link. This allows stakeholder to access your data quickly and easily.
Multiple reports can be created based on filter or comparisons. You’re also able to customize report themes and insert images, videos and text.
Personalization
Use Page Logic to filter respondents to pages relevant to them based on their answer choices. An example for education surveys would be; sending students to a set of pages based in their year group or subjects.
You can also use logic to create qualification questions, e.g. if a respondent does not give consent for their data to be used in a study, they’re taken to the exit page.
Text Piping (advanced question logic) personalizes question and answer text based on a respondent’s previous answer. For example:
Question 1: Who is the head of your department?
A: James Rees | B: Layla Ackerman | C: Sam Evans | D: Amanda Locke
Question 2: How would you rate the leadership ability of James Rees?
Our Hidden fields enables you to pass respondent information into your results. This could be staff names, teaching posts, student numbers or any information you think could be used to provide context to their responses.
Surveys and Forms for Administration
Collect wider data on students to understand the education demographics of your school or university. Then use this information to determine whether your student population aligns with diversity quotas and expectations. Ask teachers and department heads for key pupil and performance data for presentation to school inspectors and other stakeholders.
Our survey software can also be used for a range of other administration purposes:
Register student for open days, trips and workshops.
Collect consent from parents and students.
Measure the effectiveness of changes over time.
Evaluate staff performance to inform development.
Accurately report incidents and events on-site.
Contact ex-students to determine graduate success

6 Tips for Education Surveys
1. Focus on one goal per survey
Having a single focus will improve the quality of your results. I.e. If you’re measuring student satisfaction, don’t also ask about parent involvement.
2. Use incentives and prizes wisely
If an incentive is too valuable (cash or tech), then respondents may rush through your survey for a chance to claim. Read more about response bias.
3. Action feedback
Students and parents want their voice to be heard on education practices. Keep them updated and explain how past surveys have informed change.
4. Test your survey
School surveys are sent to a large respondent pool, so you’ll need to make sure it’s working as intended. Not all of your students will respond twice.
5. Ensure surveys are dynamic
It’s likely that students and parents will respond to your survey using a mobile or tablet. So, it’s important that surveys are responsive on all devices.
6. Survey during learning hours
To ensure a high response rate with student feedback surveys, you’ll want to ask students to complete them during class/ lecture hours.
