Quality Always Result Oriented:
Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) of HEC hosted an orientation session for representatives of HEC-established Accreditation Councils.
The session was held to initiate the implementation of REQAAB (Reviewing the Effectiveness of Quality Assurance and Accreditation Bodies), a core component of the Pakistan Precepts, Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (PSG-2023).
The PSG-2023, developed through a collaborative venture initiated in 2021 with QAA-UK and extensive stakeholder consultation, is designed to blend internationally recognized quality assurance standards with context-specific, localized solutions.
This orientation session, which marks a significant next step in elevating the standards of quality assurance in the country, was attended by key representatives from all Accreditation Councils established under HEC.
The session was chaired by Mr. Nasir Shah, Director General (Quality Assurance), HEC. He stressed the importance of seamless collaboration between the Councils and the HEC to meet national educational priorities and global quality benchmarks.
At the end of the presentation, Mr. Irfan Ullah, Director QAA, encouraged the Accreditations Councils to develop their business models, which are currently missing.
