| description |
The inability of contemporary Islamic higher institutions of
learning to produce human capital of the “right mind and sound thought” has
cast doubt on the goals and objectives of Islamic Universities of the present
milieu. Change is imperative. The purpose of this article is to critically
analyze some issues and challenges of quality assurance confronting Islamic
universities and propose a quality assurance model that stems from leadership
concepts rooted in Quranic tenets. Admittedly, some of the written goals of
contemporary Islamic universities with respect to quality assurance had been
partially fulfilled. However, compared with other contemporary universities,
quality assurance in Islamic universities has not lived up to expectations,
especially in terms of creative innovations and inventions, that are beneficial
for all humanity. These weaknesses could be attributed to lack of leadership
quality to spearhead innovative projects, and subsequent brain drain due to the
exodus of bright Muslim minds migrating to ‘greener pastures’. The paper
offers strategies for improving quality assurance in Islamic universities, with
special emphasis on good governance and leadership. |
