On 6 April 2023, Ms. Alina Jumagulova, General Director of the Independent Agency for accreditation and rating (IAAR) and Ms. Olga Yanovskaya, the IAAR’s Consultant, visited Alisher Navo’i Tashkent State University of Uzbek Language and Literature. At the meeting they shared best practices of international institutional and program accreditation in line with the Standards and Guidelines for quality assurance (ESG 2018).
Also, the IAAR’s experts stressed upon the role of international accreditation which is to assess and recognise the quality of the activities of higher education institutions and educational programmes following international standards for accreditation and harmonisation with national legislation.
Following international ESG and WFME standards, the main issues of international accreditation are:
- monitoring of the university’s compliance with international quality standards;
- improving the teaching and learning process;
- increasing the achievements of the university based on an external assessment;
- a steady growth of the university to improve the quality of education.
During the dialogue with the experts, the issues of international accreditation of some educational areas of TSUULL University and sharing the experience of foreign universities in this regard were discussed.
