Quality Assurance System includes education, research and social contribution activities and all principles of planning and implementation of internal and external quality assurance and accreditation processes of administrative services of higher education institutions.
The initial step within the scope of structuring the internal quality assurance system is to create and share with the public its "policies" related to its basic functions within the framework of "recognizing itself". Policy documents are texts that briefly summarize what the function carried out in higher education institutions means for itself, what processes or mechanisms it includes, and how it is organized. These texts should not be for promotional or advertising purposes, but should be created with an inclusive and participatory approach, should be understandable by partners and contain clear messages.
Quality Commission is the commission established to carry out quality assurance studies of higher education institutions in their own institutions.
Higher Education Institutions Quality Commissions play an important role in ensuring partner participation in the quality assurance system studies they carry out within the framework of the institution's strategic goals and policies. When the partners participate in the processes, it is ensured that the studies to be carried out to determine, update or improve the quality assurance system of the institution are guided.
Measurable parameters are needed to manage the quality assurance system. A higher education institution can track the level of achieving its goals and objectives over the years by identifying and monitoring key performance indicators. Depending on the progress in the indicators, the institution can set new goals and objectives, update existing ones or move them to a higher level.
One of the essential elements of being able to compete for universities is to create a culture of quality. The appropriate quality culture created in universities increases the reputation of the university and the trust in the university.
