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. This partnership is designed to provide professional development opportunities for their members, ensuring ongoing growth and improvement in educational quality.
Under the terms of the MOU, QAHE will offer ACCI updates on the latest quality assurance practices and standards. Additionally, both organizations will collaborate on joint initiatives and share valuable data and research, enhancing their collective efforts to uphold educational standards.
