Administration of Quality Assurance

Administration of Quality Assurance is one of the fundamental pillars of the successful management model in the field of academic education, where it aims to use advanced methods of quality assurance, improvement and continuous development, and to achieve the highest possible levels in practices, processes and outputs of Higher Education institutions. It also assists institutions in establishing an appropriate management system that is achieved through the processes the institution uses to improve its performance.

The quality system also highlights the disparity in levels between institutions of higher education and perhaps between academic programs within a single institution. Some institutions of higher education have resources and resources, while others are scarce. The same applies to academic programs. As for the importance of institutional quality and the components of the accreditation process (study of self-assessment, external visit, granting or rejecting accreditation), they are common aspects in all quality and academic accreditation systems.

The quality assurance system is based on the following principles:

1- The responsibility of achieving Quality Assurance lies upon Higher Education institution, as it is responsible for the quality of all its facilities and the activities it practices.

2- Paying attention to all stakeholders (students, society, and the labor market) with keenness to achieve high levels of satisfaction of these parties by meeting their needs, desires and expectations;

3- Implementation of thought-oriented leadership, which employs strategic planning and is characterized by impartiality, transparency and justice so that it contributes to unifying visions, goals and strategies in the Higher Education institution;

4- Promoting effective participation and consideration of equality among all those involved in teaching and learning without discrimination;

5- Adopting the operational approach, as the required tasks are accomplished more effectively when the required activities and resources are managed in an operational form;

6- Adopting the systemic approach in management, as identifying, understanding and managing interrelated processes contributes to the efficiency and effectiveness of the institution to achieve its goals.

7- Commitment to continuous learning based on benefiting from the accumulated experiences, accepting new ideas, responding to new needs, and being open to the world;

8- Making rational decisions based on facts;

9- Ensuring mutual benefits between all parties related to the Higher Education institution (students, faculty members, employees, society, and the labor market).

10- The quality assessment should be based on evidence. Judging the level of quality should not be based on personal judgments, but on direct and tangible evidence and proofs as much as possible.
