Pebble Hills University is thrilled to announce its recent accreditation by the Arab Organization for Quality Assurance in Education (AROQA) based in Belgium. This prestigious recognition represents a significant milestone for the university, underscoring its commitment to providing high-quality education that aligns with international standards. The AROQA accreditation was achieved with the support of the International Association for Quality Assurance in Pre-Tertiary & Higher Education (QAHE), as part of their dual accreditation arrangement, which plays a crucial role in guiding institutions through the accreditation process.

The AROQA accreditation process is known for its rigorous and comprehensive nature, designed to ensure that educational institutions uphold the highest quality standards. Founded by Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, AROQA has emerged as a leader in promoting quality education throughout the Arab region. Its mission focuses on enhancing the competitive edge of educational institutions locally, regionally, and internationally, thereby ensuring that students receive equitable opportunities for quality education.

Significance of AROQA Accreditation

Achieving AROQA accreditation reflects Pebble Hills University’s unwavering dedication to educational excellence. This accolade confirms that the university meets the stringent criteria established by AROQA, which encompasses the development of quality standards, self-assessment capabilities, and continuous improvement initiatives. This recognition not only bolsters the university’s reputation but also provides assurance to students and stakeholders regarding the quality of education offered.

AROQA’s Partnerships and Collaborations

AROQA, an independent and non-profit association established in Belgium in 2007, aims to elevate the quality of education in the Arab world. Its creation has received endorsement from the Secretary General of the League of Arab States. AROQA’s credibility is further enhanced through partnerships with respected organizations in the education sector, including:

  • The Association of Arab Universities (AArU)

  • The Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education

  • The Higher Education Accreditation Commission in Jordan (HEAC)

  • The Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA)

  • The British Accreditation Council (BAC)

These collaborations empower AROQA to refine its accreditation processes and equip institutions like Pebble Hills University with the necessary tools and resources to achieve and maintain high-quality standards. Notable members of AROQA include the Accreditation, Certification and Quality Assurance Institute (ACQUIN), Islamic University of Gaza, Al-Aqsa University, Jinan University, and various international schools across the region.

Commitment to Ongoing Improvement

Beyond the accreditation process, AROQA offers a range of services aimed at helping educational institutions enhance their quality. These services include accreditation for schools and universities, the establishment of quality departments, and capacity-building workshops. By leveraging AROQA’s expertise, Pebble Hills University is dedicated to continuous improvement and excellence in education.

Looking Forward

As Pebble Hills University embraces its AROQA accreditation, the institution is committed to further engaging with AROQA and its network of partners to enhance its educational offerings. The university plans to participate in AROQA’s annual conferences and contribute to the Arab Journal of Quality in Education, sharing insights and best practices with other accredited institutions.

In summary, the AROQA accreditation is not merely an achievement for Pebble Hills University; it represents a commitment to the future of education. The university is eager to embark on this journey of quality assurance and improvement, ensuring it remains a leader in delivering high-quality education that meets the diverse needs of its student population.
