IQA workshop in Tunisia
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Crucial to the development of a quality culture is the need to develop an integrated internal quality assurance system that promotes quality enhancement and which takes into consideration the particularities and context of individual institutions and that helps respond to the needs of external quality assurance agencies. The integration of online learning as a response to COVID19 has also impacted aspects of QA which is to be addressed within the scope of institution’s IQA. The aim of this two day ‘hands-on’ program which has been delivered in various Arab Countries is to raise awareness on how to develop internal quality systems, and grow and sustain an internal quality culture. It aims at building capacity among universities and colleges to enable them to develop internal quality assurance systems that are embedded in the strategies and culture of their institutions and aligned with external national and international accreditation agencies requirements.
