Malaysian Quality Assurance Systems Found On Par With Germany - MQA
KUALA LUMPUR, May 10 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Quality Assurance systems have been recognised in the world after scoring very high in one of the categories based on a study by the British Council recently.
Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) chief executive officer Datuk Prof Dr Rujhan Mustafa said in a report entitled, 'The Shape of Global Higher Education: National Policies Framework for International Engagement', 26 countries were evaluated and Malaysia was placed in the same category with Germany as among the best countries for openness of policy in the internationalisation of higher education.
"MQA is the national quality assurance body which contributed one of the three main indicators measuring quality assurance and recognition.
"The two other main indicators are international mobility openness for students and academicians, as well as access and sustainability," he said in a statement here Tuesday.
According Rujhan, the recognition was also contributed by the implementation of standard and criteria quality assurance benchmark at international level as found in the Code of Practice for Programme Accreditation (COPPA) and the Code of Practice for Institutional Audit (COPIA), as well as other programme standards.
He said among the criteria of accreditation evaluation implemented included the aspect of student entry and selection, as well as teaching and student evaluation used for all local and international students.
"The study by the British Council clearly enhanced the recognition of MQA at the international stage," he added.
