AQA and Partners
Cooperation is the crucial part of the Agency’s activity. Due to its pioneering role in issues of independent higher education quality assessment the Agency provides information of quality of higher education to support public confidence in quality of higher education institutions. From one side the Agency’s task is to meet the requirements of different groups of stakeholders: students, employers, public organizations, authorities and general public. In order to accumulate these requirements and have up-to-date information the Agency cooperates with many national organizations: associations of students; associations of employers; public organizations; associations of higher education community, etc.
From the other side in order to have well-elaborated methodological base and have a noteworthy presence in the sphere of higher education quality assurance the Agency cooperates with the regional and international quality assurance networks and associations as well as with the foreign quality assurance agencies.
The Agency adheres to the principles of active policy in the international cooperation. At present moment the Agency is communicating with the largest international networks. Thus the Agency is a full member of the European Foundation for Quality in eLearning (EFQUEL) – since 2005; the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE) – since 2006; The Asia-Pacific Quality Network (APQN) – since 2007. The Agency has also an associate status within the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) – since 2007.
