Definition

In education and training, any activity implemented to ensure that education and training (content of programmes, curricula, assessment and validation of learning outcomes, etc.) meet the quality requirements expected by stakeholders.

Comment:

• Quality assurance contributes to better matching of education and training supply and demand;
• it covers the macro-level (educational system), meso-level (individual educational institutions) and micro-level (teaching-learning processes).
