EQASA, enhancing quality assurance in South Asia HEIs, is to supporting sustainable socio-economic growth in south Asia by strengthening institutional capacity in HEIs and enhancing culture of quality assurance (QA). Specially, EQASA aims at a) enhancing human and technical capacity of south Asian higher education institutions (HEIs) in QA practices and b) promote culture of quality assurance by empowering the QA bureau. The 3 year project is divided into 3 stages. The first stage is to understand the current situation and draw comparative analysis with HEIs in 7 countries. The in-depth understanding moves EQASA to the second stage which is training/ learning. SA HEIs will upgrade the human and technical capacity that would then transformed to institutional capacity. In the third stage, SA HEIs now well trained to conduct internal assessments and draft a 4-year QA strategic plan to orient the QA development in the respective HEI. Constructive feedback will be given from the EU HEIs after visiting the 6 SA HEIs. In parallel, EQASA organise numerous events to engage policy makers, authorities, students, employers, local communities throughout the project.
