Description
Quality assurance in education has become an international issue and is receiving an ever increasing focus from all stakeholders. It becomes increasingly important to look into tools and techniques for the effective implementation of the quality assurance systems adopted by quality conscious educational institutions. The articles and book reviews in this e-book emphasise these aspects. These provide thought-provoking ideas on how state and private universities in developing nations can improve their environment for learning and are useful reading for people who wish to know more about the governance and the roles of universities in the case study countries. Thus this e-book is focused on best practices and case studies for improving the quality of education based on the experience/case studies/findings reported by the researchers and practitioners.
