Page Content




The “Fourth International Arab Conference on Quality Assurance in Higher Education 2014" was recently concluded , it was held in the "Zarqa University" in "Jordan", in cooperation with the "Association of Arab Universities" and aims to develop an understanding of integrated quality performance of Arab universities, highlighting the mechanisms of upgrading them, along with the interest in the development of accreditation and licensing requirements for Arab universities and to overcome challenges of applying the concepts of total quality management in our Arab University, in addition to the transfer of Arab and foreign experiences to use them in our educational institutions.

The Conference, held over three days, discussed (99) researches out  of (260) researches submitted to the Conference, discussed in nine sessions, with the participation of (16) Arab and foreign countries, included a number of axes on the quality of e-learning, quality assurance of academic programs, Arab and international experience in quality assurance, quality assurance of scientific research and higher education, standards of quality of health services, quality management, and strategic planning.

Given the significant challenges of globalization and the open education facing higher education in the Arab world, the "Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research" in the UAE under the guidance of his Excellency Sheikh “Hamdan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan”, spared no effort in continuous communication through the distribution of a questionnaire to its clients, to find out their needs and measure their level of satisfaction to assess the quality of services provided by different departments, for the Ministry to aspire to excellence in delivering its services to contribute to the realization of the “UAE vision 2021”.

Participants recommended at the end of the Conference to establish an independent body for accreditation at the level of the Arab world, working to create the appropriate environment for the application of quality standards to reform institutions of higher education in the Arab world, according to international standards, and the establishment of a body for the classification of universities, to institutions of higher education on the local and Arab levels, and the intensification of the activities of universities on the Internet by building a scientific and technical base for e-books, employing modern specialized systems and programs, disseminating the culture of e-learning, and providing advanced technologies and software in University courses.

And the adoption of strategic planning in higher education institutions, in accordance with specific criteria and indicators, and to develop open education programs in institutions of higher education in the Arab world, and their consolidated in accordance with the criteria and indicators of the "Commission of Academic Accreditation" and performance indicators, and to pay adequate attention to classroom activities and extracurricular activities of higher education institutions, for the development of various aspects of the student's personality (quality standards), for universities to research the teaching role, at different levels, to the requirements and development of Arab societies, and increased the financial allocations for this purpose, in addition to linking academic programs at universities with the needs of the community, to achieve the social responsibility of universities.

So the idea emerged for the establishment of an arbitrated international Arab scientific conference specializing in the quality of higher education, held annually at an Arab University, where Arab and foreign researchers and specialists meet to discuss the axes of this important field, in light of globalization and openness, and since it is necessary to give it due importance in our educational institutions, it was decided that the Conference for the year (2015) will be at the “University of Sharjah”.
