Synopsis

Quality education is essential for achieving the "education for all" sustainable development goal outlined by the United Nations. While quality assurance tools like rankings and accreditations aim to improve higher education, they sometimes lead to institutions adopting short-term measures rather than sustainable practices. Effective quality assurance ensures academic standards, enhances teaching and learning, promotes accountability, and supports continuous improvement. To achieve long-term benefits for students and stakeholders, higher education institutions must prioritize sustainable quality practices in their strategic and operational planning. Higher Education and Quality Assurance Practices provides case studies and concepts related to quality assurance practices adopted in higher education to improve education quality to achieve sustainable development goals. It explores quality assurance challenges and implications for higher education institutions. Covering topics such as academic integrity, faculty burnout, and tutoring systems, this book is an excellent resource for higher education leaders, faculty, quality assurance professionals, education policymakers, consultants, advisors, and more.
