Guideline for Students-Experts Involved in the Procedures of Institutional and Programme Accreditation
The Guideline for students was developed in order to give instructions to students in the field of quality assurance on procedures and standards of accreditation of the Independent Kazakh Agency for Quality Assurance in Education (IQAA). It is aimed at clarification of the role of student in terms of their participation in external reviews. Moreover, the Guideline has a purpose to give insights about IQAA procedures of quality assurance and the role of students it this process.
When developing this Guideline, the agency used the experiences of the European Union of Students in the QUEST project. The QUEST project was initiated with the purpose to enhance and support the participation of students in the processes of quality assurance. The project was funded by the EU Program "Life-long learning", which includes the Agency for the expansion of students’ participation in the quality procedures in Scotland (Sparqs), Romanian Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education and the free association of local student union bodies.
