AUTONOMY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE IMPROVEMENT OF QUALITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION

AUTONOMY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE IMPROVEMENT OF QUALITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Summary: 
The weak quality of our higher education (HE) is that it has not met the current demands of human resources for socio-economic development. The main reason is that HE institutions lack the necessary links with the surrounding environment, including recruitment agencies, research institutes and other educational institutions. To overcome this situation, it is necessary to create a better connected system on the basis of promoting the autonomy of HE institutions. Higher Education Law 2012 established a legal framework for the creation of such a system. However, the practical implementation of the past 5 years has not brought about the desired result. This is due to the shortcomings in implementing autonomy in our country, including awareness divergence, institutional inconsistence, and the absence of a viable implementation mechanism.
