| description |
Quality in higher education is difficult
to measure. Incentives to improve (or not) are often
different for public and private institutions, and
approaches to quality assurance have to be adapted to
different situations. Poland is reforming its higher
education institutional framework and the World Bank
conducted a review, comparing strategies followed by
(largely) Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) countries with regard to quality
assessment, to help the country assess educational services
at its higher education institutions. Based on the research,
some of the most comprehensive quality assessment frameworks
for public universities were found in the Irish, Scottish
and Hong Kong educational systems; for private universities,
the Austrian and Swiss systems present interesting examples. |
