Recent Trends in Quality Assurance

&
Pages 59-61 | Published online: 14 Apr 2010
 

ABSTRACT

In this paper we present a brief description of the evolution of quality assurance in Europe, paying particular attention to its relationship to the rising loss of trust in higher education institutions. We finalise by analysing the role of the European Commission in the setting up of new quality assurance mechanisms that tend to promote accreditation and stratification rather than quality enhancement.
