RE: [AU-Harmon-AAU-QA] Process of developing minimum academic standards / Processus de développement des normes minimales:

[Nadia Badrawi]

Dear Olusola

I like this focus area 

1- It is necessary to develop a minimum academic standards, I worked with 5
Arab countries including 3 African countries to develop a minimum academic
standards for 10 programs. There are other initiatives in the Arab countries
to develop academic standards 

2- Minimum standards should be for the program more than courses. May be
that we can say core standards so every University can add to the core some
standards according to the mission of the institution

3- Standards cannot be uniform to all 53 countries, may be regional would be
easier, but their should be flexibility to each country 

4- Standards are usually for the programs. I mean develop common standards
for engineering but with specialization to every program like mechanical e.
electric, civil engineering etc

Subject: [AU-Harmon-AAU-QA] Process of developing minimum academic standards
/ Processus de développement des normes minimales:

 

Dear All, 

Following this excellent summary of the Discussion on the Rating System, 

it is my pleasure to inform you that our next area of focus is the Process
of developing minimum academic standards. 

Dear Participants: 

(i)         Is it really necessary to develop minimum academic standards? 

(ii)        Should minimum standards be set for each course or programs? 

(iii)        Should minimum standards be uniform in each country or
regionally? 

(iv)        Can we have African minimum standards for various disciplines?
e.g. 

African  minimum standards for Engineering, medicine etc? 

We shall be happy if you can share you views on these various issues.

Cher tous, 

Après cet excellent résumé sur la discussion du système d'estimation de la
qualité de l’Enseignement Supérieur, j’ai le plaisir de porter à votre
connaissance que le prochain sujet de discussion portera sur le   Processus
de développement des normes minimales: 

 

Chers Particpants : 

(i)         Est-il vraiment nécessaire de développer des normes minimales? 

(ii)        Les normes minimales devraient-elles être fixées pour chaque
cours ou programmes? 

(iii)        Les normes minimales doivent-elles être uniformes dans chaque
pays ou chaque région ? 

(iv)        Pouvons-nous avoir des normes minimales africaines pour
différentes disciplines? par exemple des normes minimales africaines pour la
technologie, la médecine etc.? 

 

Nous vous serions gré de bien vouloir partager vos vues sur ces différentes
questions.
