NAQA is currently undergoing an external review for compliance with the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG), coordinated by the ENQA: European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education.
On December 10-12, a site visit by an expert panel was conducted at the Embassy of Ukraine in Hungary (Budapest), which was one of the key stages of the external evaluation. Due to security reasons, part of NAQA team worked directly at the Embassy, while other participants joined online from Ukraine and different parts of the world. The meetings were held in a hybrid format, which ensured broad participation and meaningful dialogue.
During the visit, meetings were held with NAQA members, the management and staff of the Secretariat, representatives of Sectoral Expert Councils (SEC), experts and stakeholders, including representatives of ministries and the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, members of the Advisory Board, international partners, and other interested parties.
Detailed information on expert panel members can be found at the ENQA website: https://www.enqa.eu/review-database/external-review-of-naqa-2025/
We sincerely thank the ENQA expert panel members for their professionalism, attentiveness, and constructive approach, as well as for their expert conclusions and recommendations, which will serve as an important basis for the further development and improvement of NAQA’s activities.
We would like to express our gratitude to all participants in the process for their openness, involvement, and joint work on the development of the higher education quality assurance system in Ukraine.
