The current “Quality Assurance Guidelines for Universities” (Guidelines) have been developed by the working group of the Academic Integrity League as a document defining the key parameters and guidelines for establishing a quality control system for the educational process and internal academic management. These Guidelines amalgamate the experience of League member universities, based on the implementation of ESG (European Standards and Guidelines), as well as the best international practices in academic management in higher education. They are recommended for use by universities in the process of transforming or establishing an academic quality management system.
Project Goal:
Our main goal is to create a comprehensive guide that will assist universities in establishing an academic quality management system within their institutions, ultimately enhancing the quality of higher education. We aim to enable educational institutions to provide students with the highest level of education, meeting the most rigorous standards, by implementing the various steps outlined in this Guide.
What we plan to do:
– Developing detailed recommendations for enhancing the quality of educational programs.
– Creating methods for assessing and ensuring the quality of educational processes.
– Providing valuable resources and tools to help universities optimize their operations.
– Supporting the achievement of academic integrity and improving the effectiveness of education.
We believe that education is a crucial element in the development of society. With this project, we aim to enhance education and make it more accessible and of higher quality for everyone.
Stay tuned for our updates on the website, and we will soon share the results of this important work!
