An Examination of Quality Assurance Compliance in Selected Universities of Lusaka District, Zambia

On the other hand, quality of teaching and learning has become a major strategic issue in higher education systems across the globe over the past decades (UNESCO 2018).In the last two to three decades, Higher Education systems worldwide have introduced quality assurance systems, which are instruments to make universities' achievements in higher education visible and comparable.The quality assurance frameworks set are meant to help the nation have common standards and guidelines, which, in turn, create mutual trust for stakeholders (for example, regional labour markets and employers) in the quality of the programmes provided and degrees awarded by the Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in countries.While the concept of quality assurance is not new, however, the range of terminology and methodologies now used to define, develop, and apply it are growing.There are many different perceptions of what is meant by quality in higher education.
