In the run up to the 2024 Bologna Process Ministerial Conference, ENQA’s message to the Ministers of Education of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) highlights quality assurance as a prominent success story of the EHEA, while recognising that there is still work to be done, both in meeting existing commitments and in ensuring that our shared framework remains fit-for-purpose in the changing higher education environment.
ENQA calls on Ministers to take action on three key issues:
- Ensure that national legislative frameworks allow quality assurance agencies to operate in compliance with the ESG
- Enable international collaboration by reducing national-level barriers in quality assurance and higher education while enhancing transparency
- Maintain the relevance and added value of external quality assurance by allowing quality assurance agencies to implement flexible and enhancement-oriented approaches
