The Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG) provide a common framework for the development of the Agency for Science and Higher Education’s (ASHE) internal quality assurance system, which promotes the development of a quality culture in accordance with the needs and expectations of the Agency’s management, employees, stakeholders, and society as a whole.
ASHE’s internal quality assurance system supports the continuous improvement of ASHE’s business processes and the provision of high-quality public services.
The Agency for Science and Higher Education Quality Policy provides overall direction for all activities and serves as a framework for the development of ASHE and its internal quality assurance system.
The objectives of the ASHE Quality Policy are to preserve and enhance the relevance of external quality assurance in line with societal developments, as well as to strengthen ASHE’s social role as a promoter of quality in higher education and science.
The ASHE Quality Policy is implemented through the active participation of employees and stakeholders in the implementation of processes and activities that form an integral part of the quality assurance system.
