From May 8 to 10, the Ukrainian Catholic University hosted the 5th anniversary training program – Ukrainian Association of Students’ Quality Assurance Pool (UAS QA Pool) – for preparing student experts in the field of higher education quality assurance. The training was organised by UAS in cooperation with NAQA.
50 motivated students from various regions of Ukraine studied the specifics of study programmes accreditation experts’ work, delving into topics such as internal and external quality assurance systems, regulatory frameworks, accreditation examination, the student voice in the educational environment, and their role as stakeholders. The programme also included interactive sessions, a simulation of a university site visit, case studies, and practice in drafting an expert group report.
Such trainings are extremely important, as NAQA continuously requires active and well-prepared student experts capable of effectively contributing to the processes of external quality assurance in higher education.
We sincerely thank all the participants and the UAS for their meaningful cooperation and shared commitment to quality higher education!
