NIAD-QE University Quality Assurance Forum 2024 (9 Oct 2024)
NIAD-QE University Quality Assurance Forum 2024 (9 Oct 2024) The National Institution for Academic Degrees and Quality Enhancement of Higher Education (NIAD-QE)—Parent organization of NIC-Japan—is hosting its annual event, University Quality Assurance Forum 2024 on 9th October (1:30pm-3:30pm JST / 4:30am-6:30am GMT). The theme of the event is “A Tectonic Shift in Quality Assurance of Higher Education: What can we learn from the latest UK experience?” Twenty years have passed since the introduction of the Certified Evaluation and Accreditation system for higher education in Japan, and it seems to be long enough for us to accumulate experience and generate ideas to reconsider the nature, significance, and future of quality assurance and evaluation in higher education. A significant change is occurring in several regions in the world that could possibly prompt a reshaping of the evaluation and quality assurance system. The change could be described as a “tectonic shift” in evaluation and quality assurance of higher education. The University Quality Assurance Forum 2024 will focus on the latest experience in the UK. The UK has recently been through a significant shift regarding the quality assurance landscape. The long-standing mainstream quality assurance agency for universities and other higher education institutions in England, the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA), has been replaced by the Office for Students (OfS), which became responsible for the ‘Register of English higher education providers.’ It was followed by the complete withdrawal of QAA, which had been acting as a cooperator of OfS for the time being, from the original system in March 2023. Understanding the background and implications of these changes, as well as the QAA’s direction, is crucial for considering the future of the evaluation and quality assurance system in Japan. For this forum, NIAD-QE invites Ms. Vicki Stott, Chief Executive of the UK Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA). Ms. Stott will share her perspective on what this “tectonic shift” in the UK suggests and lead us to envision the future of quality assurance for higher education institutions in Japan.
