In the light of increased demand and development of mass higher education, one of the key challenges is to assure the quality of higher education. There is a near-consensus on the key importance of accreditation in this endeavor, but only if it is further enhanced and dedicated to increasing public awareness of its role and importance.  <br><span lang=\"EN-US\"> <\/span> <br><span lang=\"EN-US\">One of the novelties presented by the U.S. Department of Education<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> is the introduction of credit hours (hours of student work presented by the expected learning outcomes and supported by evidence of student achievement) as one of the criteria in the future accreditation procedures. Also, there was a discussion of the need to develop national standards and measures for accreditation procedures, similar to those developed on the European level. <\/span> <br><span lang=\"EN-US\"> <\/span> <br><span lang=\"EN-US\">This goes to prove that in addition to quality assurance and the burning issue of cutting higher education costs in the recession, one of the key issues drawing much attention is the Bologna reform. The conference thus included a presentation of the European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education (EQAR) as well as the project of ranking higher education institutions (U-Multirank) to compare similar higher education institutions (U-Map). <\/span> <br><span lang=\"EN-US\">Quality assurance activities of major Arab countries were also presented at the conference. <\/span> <br><span lang=\"EN-US\"> <\/span> <br><span lang=\"EN-US\">Other important topics discussed were for-profit colleges and learning outcomes, with an annual CHEA award for the institutions successful in their implementation. <br> Presentations from the conference can be downloaded <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.chea.org\/Research\/index.asp#2011Conf\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>. <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><\/span>\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In order to gain insight into years of experience of U.S. institutions in the accreditation procedures, as well as recent trends, Agency for Science and Higher Education representatives participated in the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) annual conference in Washington, from January 24th to 26th 2011.
