NAQA role in the DigiUni project:   

NAQA supports and actively works to ensure quality, inclusive and transparent higher education for all participants of the educational process, so the agency will actively work within the DigiUni project to achieve all of its objectives. 

NAQA’s support will ensure that the project’s initiative is introduced as quickly and widely as possible in all higher education institutions in Ukraine, joining individual teachers and university departments. Moreover, by far the greatest experience in higher education and its content quality assurance in Ukraine is on the NAQA side, and this is one of the critical tasks of the project. 

NAQA will actively participate in the implementation of individual tasks of WP 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 under the supervision of the task and WP leaders, and ensure the implementation of all institutional sub-tasks. 

In WP 1 “Management and coordination” NAQA will take part in all planned management events, take part and provide all possibly needed materials for project monitoring and evaluation and participate in progress and final project reports preparation. 

In WP 2 “Digital educational ecosystem” NAQA will take part in the concept, strategy, and action plan development for creating an integrated, sustainable, enriching and inclusive digital educational ecosystem in Ukraine. NAQA will also sign the Open DigiUni-Ukraine Charter. 

In WP 4 “DigiPlatform Content Development“, the agency will actively participate in the implementation of tasks under the supervision of WP task leaders, ensuring that all institutional sub-tasks are completed.

In WP 5 “DigiUni pilot implementation” NAQA will support UA partner universities with recruitment of the pilot contingent from non-university audiences, where appropriate (high school students, students of vocational education at the junior bachelor’s level, persons with limited educational opportunities).

In WP 6“Quality Control and Monitoring“, the agency will share its experience and participate in external evaluation of trainings and content.

In WP 7 “Dissemination of results and sustainability of the project” NAQA will promote the results of the project and support the inclusion / emergence of new HEIs on the platform, to realise the main objectives of the project and ensure its sustainability.
