The collaboration encourages institutions to share knowledge and best practices, driving continuous improvement. With access to a wider network of resources and expertise, institutions can improve their operations and educational outcomes.
Commitment to Quality Improvement
Both QAHE and AROQA are dedicated to supporting institutions beyond the accreditation process. Their joint efforts include capacity-building programs, workshops, and consultancy services aimed at helping educational entities develop quality departments and improve their overall performance. This commitment to ongoing improvement is vital in an ever-evolving educational landscape.
As part of this partnership, institutions are encouraged to participate in conferences and contribute to academic journals, thereby promoting collaboration and innovation in education. The dual accreditation arrangement stands as a testament to the organizations’ shared vision of elevating educational quality and accessibility.
Looking Ahead
