Research Project 7

Developing ASEAN Quality Assurance System Model

November, 2012

Research Project 7 will be implemented as a part of the "Research Project for Overseas Development of Sectoral University Assessment" under the "Advanced University Reform Promotion Project" in 2012 by MEXT. The project will conduct a survey on quality assurance system of higher education in ASEAN countries in particular, aiming to develop our accreditation activities in Asia. ABEST21 teams in Japan, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia will respectively conduct a research on education quality assurance system, with the support from MQA and BAN-PT. Educational quality assurance is a prerequisite for business schools to promote industry-academia collaboration and cooperation among universities, for globalization of management education and establishment of consortium. To meet the needs of the economic globalization age, we believe it is necessary to conduct a research on advanced education quality assurance/accreditation system in Asia and develop a model for the assessment system.
