The Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) established a higher education reform strategy that has been translated into twenty five distinct projects addressing the diverse areas of reform (February 2000).

Twelve of the twenty five projects have been bundled into six components, hereinafter called projects, and were given priority to be funded and implemented through a loan agreement between the Government of Egypt (GOE) and the World Bank (IBRD loan no. 4658EG, dated April 2002).


NQAAC

National Quality Assurance and Accreditation committee

The Quality Assurance and Accreditation Project (QAAP) is one of the six priority projects directed towards the improvement of quality, efficiency and relevance of higher education in Egypt .

This project constitutes the cornerstone that is applied across the board to support every project within the higher education reform strategy, and will be the main focus of this operational manual.

As this project constitutes one of the main cornerstones of the Egyptian higher education reform strategy, a national committee was formed in October 2001, well before the startup of HEEP implementation, to pave the way for quality assurance and accreditation of higher education institutions and academic programs.

Our Mission :

"Ensuring the quality, continuous improvement, and efficient performance of Egyptian Higher Education institutions, and soliciting community confidence in their graduates caliber that fulfills international recognized standards."

Our objectives:

•  Developing a National Quality Assurance and Accreditation system in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs)

•  Raising both HEIs and community awareness on the culture of Quality in Education

•  Ensuring the quality of the University graduates to compete nationality, regionally, and internationally
