As higher education systems expand, there is growing interest in
ways of ensuring that academic standards and quality of provision
in higher education are maintained. Systems of quality assurance
are being reviewed and upgraded in many countries. In Alma Craft's
edited collection authors from Australia, Hong Kong, India, Sweden,
the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Community
describe a range of international developments and offer varying
perspectives on quality assurance in higher education. Conflict
between institutional autonomy and accountability and between
self-assessment and external review is evident throughout and
discussed fully in material gathered from the international
conference of the Hong Kong council for Academic Accreditation held
in 1991.
Originally published in 1994, International Developments in
Assuring Quality in Higher Education describes a range of national
and international developments which evaluate the quality of
education provided by public and private tertiary institutions. The
book is based on papers from a conference organized by the
International Network of Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher
Education, and held in Montreal in 1993. Regional perspectives from
Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America, North America and
Western Europe are followed by an account of national quality
assurance agencies in Chile, Denmark, Korea, New Zealand, South
Africa, Quebec, Romania, Scotland and the USA. There are also
chapters on the work of UNESCO and the World Bank in promoting
quality in higher education in industrialising nations. Together
these papers supplement the account of international initiatives.
