International Quality Assurance Recognition of THE-ICE

INQAAHE

THE-ICE is proud to be a full member of the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE), joining in 2011 and actively engaging in its strategic activities since. INQAAHE was established in 1991 with only eight members – today the total membership exceeds 200.

The main purpose of INQAAHE is to collect and distribute information on the current and developing theory and practice in the assessment, improvement and maintenance of quality in higher education. By means of this information-sharing and otherwise, it is intended that INQAAHE should:

• promote good practices in the maintenance and improvement of quality in higher education;
• facilitate research into the practice of quality management in higher education and its effectiveness;
• be able to provide advice and expertise to assist the development of new quality assurance agencies;
• facilitate links between accrediting bodies, especially insofar as they operate across national borders;
• assist members in determining the standards of institutions operating across national borders;
• permit better-informed international recognition of qualifications;
• be able to assist in the development and use of credit transfer schemes in order to enhance the mobility of students between institutions within and across national borders; and
• enable members to be alert to dubious accrediting practices and organisations.
