The International Association for Quality Assurance in Pre-Tertiary and Higher Education (QAHE) has made a significant move to improve educational standards. On November 21, 2024, it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Association of Chartered Christian Instructors (ACCI). This strategic partnership aims to foster collaboration and promote quality assurance in education across various institutions.
The MOU establishes a framework for reciprocal recognition of certifications, standards, and qualifications between QAHE and ACCI. By acknowledging each other’s achievements, both organizations seek to enhance credibility and trust within the educational community, ultimately benefiting educators and students alike. This collaboration is especially pertinent in a global landscape that increasingly demands high standards in educational practices.
Key Objectives of the MOU
Among the primary objectives outlined in the agreement are the identification of opportunities for joint programs, workshops, and conferences. Both QAHE and ACCI are committed to facilitating information sharing on best practices and research findings related to quality assurance.
