Self-assessment
Establishing a national quality-assurance system in higher education is a project led by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, for which an official body — the “Commission for Establishing a Quality Assurance System” — was created. It involves institutions by appointing quality-assurance cells and officers who act as a link between their institutions and the ministry's bodies.
The current stage is the adoption of the “national reference framework,” which defines the evaluation criteria to be used, together with the creation of the external evaluation body tasked with auditing the self-assessments carried out across universities.
