2. International Quality Assurance Bodies:
Following
bodies are working in the
field of QA/E. Only few have been
listed.
International Network for
Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher
Education (INQAAHE)
The International Network for Quality Assurance
Agencies in Higher
Education (INQAAHE) is a world-wide
association of some 200 organizations active
in the theory and practice of
quality
assurance in higher
education. The great majority
of its members are quality
assurance agencies that
operate in many different ways,
although the Network also
welcomes (as associate or institution members) other
Organizations that have an
interest in QA in HE.

The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher
Education
(QAA)
QAA checks how UK
universities
maintain
their
own academic standards and
quality.
We review and report on how
they meet their
responsibilities,
identify good practice
and make
recommendations for improvement. We
publish
guidelines
to
help
UK universities and colleges
develop effective systems to ensure students have the best
learning
experience.

The Asia-Pacific Quality Network (APQN)
The Asia-Pacific Quality Network (APQN) has
been developed with the purpose of serving the needs of
quality
assurance agencies in higher
education in a region that
contains over half the world's population.
This is a fast-growing
region, with an
increasing appetite for education, and
with
increasing
mobility
of students and providers to
meet that need. In turn,
this
makes it
a region of growing and
developing quality
assurance agencies that needs
to be able
to
deal with public and private
providers, and with education and students that cross
national borders. APQN is
already helping
to
build
alliances
between agencies, and
assisting countries/territories that do not have a
quality assurance agency
of their
own.
Many hands have contributed
to the development of the Network,
especially
the
support from World Bank and UNESCO. The devotion and collaboration have
brought the
continuous expansion and flourish of APQN. So we'd
like
to take
this
opportunity to thank
all
of them.

The Arab Network
for Quality Assurance in Higher Education ANQAIIE
The Arab Network for Quality Assurance in Higher Education ANQAIIE has
been
established in June, 2007 as a nonprofit nongovernmental
organization.
The purpose to establish the Arab network for
quality
Assurance in higher education
is
• to create a mechanism between the Arab countries to:
• Exchange information about
quality
assurance
• Construct new quality assurance
agencies or organizations
• Develop standards to
establish
new
quality
assurance agencies or support
the
already present one
• Disseminate good practice in
quality assurance
• Strengthen liaison between quality assurance bodies in the
different countries
