Educational experts discuss internal quality assurance system design, development

HCM CITY — More than 100 educational local and international experts discussed internal quality assurance (IQA) system design and development at a three-day workshop opening in HCM City on Monday. The workshop aims to pilot the AUN IQA System, develop the AUN IQA system as the core output with a working Tool-Kit to be customised and adapted for future uses under co-ownership between the Ministry of Education and Training and AUN, and build a community of practitioners of the AUN IQA system and knowledge portal. It organised three sessions of small-group discussions with three main topics; Vietnamese higher education sector - Towards world-class standards; Making an IQA system that works - Generating changes for Vietnamese higher education; and Way forward for Vietnamese higher education institutions. Up to now, the AUN-QA quality assurance community in the country has 44 associate members. “The workshop will pave the way for the future cooperation of the AUN-QA quality assurance community,” she said.
