ENQA also became a consultative member of the Bologna Follow-Up Group (BFUG). In addition to having adopted the ENQA European Standards and Guidelines (ESG), the Ministers also committed themselves to introducing the model for peer review of QA agencies on a national basis, as proposed by the ESG. They welcomed the principle of a European Register of QA agencies, based on national review. The Ministers asked ENQA, in co-operation with EUA, EURASHE and ESIB, to study further the practicalities of implementation of the register and to report back to them through the BFUG. ENQA was accepted as a consultative member to the BFUG. |
