WP1: Defining the Lebanese Quality Assurance Model
Summary
This document proposes a quality assurance system for the Lebanese Higher Education. It starts by a description of the objectives of higher education and how quality assurance supports better reaching those objectives. This description covers both the general worldwide objectives as well as the specific Lebanese ones. Chapter III is dedicated to the description of the starting points used for building the Lebanese quality assurance system, i.e. the draft law on the establishment of the Lebanese Quality Assurance Agency and, the results of the brainstorming session conducted during the kick-off meeting of the “Towards the Lebanese Quality Assurance Agency” TLQAA Tempus project. Based on those elements a model for the quality assurance system has been proposed to the Lebanese Higher Education stakeholders in a roundtable that happened in the UNESCO Palace on March 27, 2012 and where more than fifty representatives of the different stakeholders participated. This model is presented in chapter IV. Finally, some conclusions summarize the major characteristics of the proposed model.
