Abstract | This paper reviews the impact of quality assurance agencies on higher education and the extent to which these agencies can improve the quality of higher education in the MENA region, in particular. The main part of this paper is conceptual and based on higher education literature, reviews and reports. The methodology is qualitative, and the research tool is document analysis. The paper reviews key longitudinal studies on the impact of external monitoring bodies in the MENA region to understand experiences and quality standards compliance. This helps to identify opportunities to develop quality practices in that are more appropriate to the context of the MENA region. It is concluded that a collaborative approach among all parties in the higher education system is critical to develop diversity among higher education institutions while achieving compliance requirements and internal improvement. |
