In recent years, knowledge has experienced rapid advancement, which has c​reated multiple new specializations, new skill sets, and shifted global trends in human capital requirements. As a result of this unprecedented growth, it became essential to establish national organizations and bodies that focus on ensuring Quality in Education and Training. Additionally, competitiveness has soared to even higher levels, and the national wealth of many countries has become less important as a driver than the creation of a true knowledge economy. No nation can progress without developing and improving the quality of its human capital.

BQA was officially established pursuant to the Royal Decree No. (32) of  2008, and was re-organised pursuant to the Royal Decree No. (83) of 2012 as a national organization to ensure quality in the field of education and training, we have been undertaking a major project, and know that we are an important element in “Shaping Bahrain’s Future” We at the BQA are cognizant that there can be no future without the highest quality of education and training. Our role is to ensure this quality by reviewing and analyzing the performance of educational establishments, national exams, redressing weaknesses and building on strengths at schools and higher educational institutions to reach our national goals. and to develop and implement the national qualifications framework and ensure that the quality of education and training in Bahrain meets international standards and good practice in accordance with the vision set by the National Education Reform ​Initiatives.

We know that our task is not an easy one. However, with the support of all government entities and the cooperation of all educational and training facilities in Bahrain, we are confident that we will easily achieve our goals from which the Bahraini people will benefit.
