On November 7–9, 2025, Chernivtsi hosted the sixth UAS QA Pool training programme, which brings together active students interested in the development of quality education in Ukraine. This time, the programme attracted over 70 participants from different regions of the country. The event was organized by the Ukrainian Association of Students in cooperation with NAQA and with the participation of representatives of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP).
The training was opened by NAQA Head, Andrii Butenko, who emphasized the importance of active participation of the student community in shaping a culture of quality and integrity. The Head of the Secretariat, Oleksandr Khymenko, and the Head of the NAQA Analytics and Training Support Department, Oksana Trebenko, spoke about the regulatory framework for quality assurance in higher education and the system of expert groups during accreditation, while the programme itself combined a simulation of an accreditation visit, analysis of real-life case studies, discussions on the role of students in internal and external quality assurance, and practice in writing expert group reports.
We would like to thank the Ukrainian Association of Students for their partnership and Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University for their hospitality. Together, we support the development of a culture of quality in higher education!
