What is the benefit of an Quality assurance:

• Quality assurance is based on the principle that every aspect of the work of the faculty/department/school/university can be improved continuously and that evaluation and self-evaluation, both internal and external, are ongoing practices that serve that improvement. It is constructive and formative (rather than solely judgmental and summative), is evaluative as well as descriptive, and is evidence-based and data-driven, with evidence drawn from a wide range of referenced sources.
• Quality assurance is a collaborative exercise, and one of its benefits is a consensus on goals, objectives and intended outcomes, such that there is a common benchmark set of criteria for planning and evaluating the work of the organization/department/ program. In working towards harmony, staff are involved in examining best practice in their own and other’s work.
