The Slovak Accreditation Agency for Higher Education and the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic participated in the creation of the National Action Plan in the field of external quality assurance of higher education institutions.
The Action Plan is one of the deliverables of the international project Supporting Countries and their Agencies for Quality Assurance in Higher Education in Meeting the ESG 2015 (Supporting European QA Agencies in Meeting the ESG – SEQA-ESG) with the support of the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.
The action plan reflects the current challenges in the field of external quality assurance and outlines priority areas and specific measures aimed at aligning the quality assurance system with the ESG 2015 (Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area) and helping the Slovak Accreditation Agency for Higher Education to obtain Membership in the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) and enroll in the European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education (EQAR).
The action plan was discussed with representatives of higher education institutions representations (The Slovak Rectors’ Conference, the Higher Education Council, and the Student Council of Higher Education) and representatives of employers (Federation of Employer Associations of the Slovak Republic, the National Union of Employers, the Slovak Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Sector-driven Innovation project) and has been approved by ENQA.
