Quality Assurance, Monitoring and Evaluation in Higher Education
Details
Concern about the quality of higher education is on the rise in Africa. It comes at a time of growing recognition of the potentially powerful role of tertiary education for growth, and it is a natural response to public perception that educational quality is being compromised in the effort to:
expand enrolment in recent years, complaints by employers that graduates are poorly prepared for the workplace, and increasing competition in the higher education market place, as numerous private and transnational providers enter the scene.
Globally, the majority of HEIs in most countries have now implemented more structured and systematic approaches to quality assurance in response to the new demands for quality higher education in order to ensure high academic standards, integrity and accountability.
The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) suggests that, while there is a clear need for the development and implementation of quality assurance strategies in HEIs throughout the world, there is, nevertheless, a lack of uniformity and agreement in respect of the form that such strategies should take.

- Quality assurance (QA) legislative environment, theories related to QA, implementation models, and case studies, policy writing and roleplay to assist with implementation
