Project Summary

EQuAM-T project aims to strengthen the management of quality assurance in higher education in Tunisia. It will capitalize on existing capacities at the national and local levels to transform dispersed components and capacities into a system with interactions and capacities allowing to evolve from few dispersed initiatives, taken on a small scale and weakly institutionalized, towards recurrent actions, regular and coordinated on a large scale, with caparable level of quality and benefiting from strong systemic capacities and performances at the national level.Tunisia will have an agency capable of carrying out recurrent and regular assessments in all universities and higher education institutions and capable of carrying out continuous work, both at institutional and programmatic level. EQuAM-T will accelerate operationalization and strengthen the QA system in place. On the other hand, the toolbox, guidelines, benchmarks and code of practice that will be developed during EQuAM-T project will continue to serve as the basis for a rapidly evolving Tunisian QA system, adaptable to the different contexts of each university. EQuAM-T will make concrete the full integration of external QA and internal QA processes and a clear definition of the role and responsibilities of the actors. Thanks to the EQuAM-T project, internal committees for quality in universities will be operationalized and upgraded to European standards. Certifyng online training for initiation or development of QA actors will be possible in three languages. The accreditation of QA experts in Tunisie, but also at the MENA region, will also be possible within the framework of courses certified by the EQuAM-T consortium and in particular quality agencies including the Tunisian agency IEAQA and the Spanish agency ANECA.
