QAHE-AROQA Dual Accreditation Arrangement

Overview

The International Association for Quality Assurance in Pre-Tertiary & Higher Education (QAHE) is proud to announce its strategic dual accreditation arrangement with the Arab Organization for Quality Assurance in Education (AROQA). This collaboration aims to enhance the quality of education globally by providing a comprehensive framework for institutions seeking accreditation. AROQA is a non-profi­t and independent association established in Belgium in 2007 to promote excellence and raise the quality of education in the Arab world. The creation of AROQA has been endorsed by the Secretary General of the League of Arab States. AROQA's credibility is further bolstered by its partnerships with numerous esteemed organizations in the education sector. The organization has signed cooperation agreements with various institutions, including the Association of Arab Universities (AArU), the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education, the Higher Education Accreditation Commission in Jordan (HEAC), the Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA) and the British Accreditation Council (BAC).
