MoET revises accreditation standards to ensure quality education
The Education and Training Ministry is proposing revisions to the university program accreditation standards, aiming to streamline the process, reduce the number of standards, and ensure alignment with international practices.
Prof Dr Huynh Van Chuong, Director of the Department of Quality Assurance (under the Ministry of Education and Training – MoET) informed that the quality assessment standards in Circular 04/2016/TT-BGDDT dated March 14, 2016 were based on the 3.0 version of the program assessment standards of the ASEAN University Network Quality Assurance (AUNQA).
The draft amendment has integrated specialized guidance and forms into the accompanying annexes. The set of standards in the draft consists of 8 standards (instead of 11 in Circular 04 above), 52 criteria, along with an annex on guidance for assessing criteria and an annex of necessary forms. This has eliminated overlaps in the assessment process under the current circular.
