Description:
<jats:p>Discusses the different forms of external enquiry into the
operations of HEIs that constitute existing quality control, assurance
and assessment processes and procedures. Proposes that external scrutiny
of operations should adopt an approach that ensures accountability,
enhances quality, is practical, efficient, effective and offers a degree
of autonomy. Asserts that putting continuous quality improvement into
practice in higher education requires the implementation of key
principles of procedure and practical team approaches which are
currently far from endemic across institutions. Describes and explains
how the identification of specific roles and responsibilities within
academic teams can provide one way of successfully establishing the link
between quality control, assurance and assessment and the process of
continuous quality improvement in the provision of higher education.</jats:p>
