Recent Trends in Global Quality Assurance in Higher Education
Abstract
Globalization, massification of tertiary education, changing labor market and ICT revolution have radically altered the tertiary education environment posing new challenges to governments, higher education providers and other key stakeholders in terms of relevance and credibility of provisions. Quality assurance has evolved and became a prominent feature of higher education reforms worldwide. At the start of the millennium, a global quality assurance model emerged as regional and international networks of quality assurance agencies cooperated on setting pre-defined quality standards and criteria for self-assessments. However, with the radical alterations in higher education, it became clear that the traditional means for internal and external evaluations are no longer adequate to ensure the acceptable level of tertiary education performance This chapter elaborates on the above issues by a) identifying the trends challenging existing QA models, and b) elaborating on innovative approaches to quality assurance to meet these challenges.
