Plenary Session 3:
Are we closer to a global QA and qualifications framework?
Focus: From the GGP to CHEA’s new International Principles, to regional quality assurance (QA) and Qualification Frameworks (QF) in Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Arab world, there are now structures which hold out the promise of an approach to a system which can transcend national boundaries and constraints. But QA & QF is still overwhelmingly delivered by agencies constructed on national lines. Is global recognition of institutions and qualifications a dream or a likely reality? Is self-certification a major tool for international recognition of qualifications and awards? What should be the relationship between national and international, or even global, frameworks? Do we see complementarity or conflict?
