Executive Director’s Report
Sharing Expertise
With long standing experience in accreditation and good reputation in
quality assurance, HKCAAVQ has begun exporting its knowledge and
expertise to places outside Hong Kong with the required approval
of the Secretary for Education. Since 2013, we have been offering
consultancy services to the Macao Special Administrative Region
(SAR) Government to help develop a quality assurance mechanism
for its higher education sector. Over the last two years we have been
working in consultation with the Macao government to develop a set
of evaluation tools. HKCAAVQ is honoured to play an active part in
the quality assurance development in Macao, and we are excited to
move on to the next step to test the instrument in practice.
Connecting the World
Over the year, HKCAAVQ has maintained active participation in
the international quality assurance communities through forging
partnership with overseas quality assurance agencies and sharing our
knowledge and experience in international conferences. Given the
maturity of our quality assurance model for transnational education,
we were invited to participate in the Quality Beyond Boundaries
(QBB) – a forum for the countries that are most active in transnational
education either as sending or receiving countries. The project
participants aim at collaborating on how to solve challenges in quality
assuring International Branch Campuses (IBCs). With the concerted
efforts of the involved agencies, we believe the QBB platform will
help promote communication and collaboration in enhancing quality
assurance of IBCs and it may ultimately streamline the quality
assurance of institutions operating in multiple jurisdictions.
More recently, we have successfully applied for affiliate status of the
European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education
(ENQA). The affiliate status allows us to keep abreast of the quality
assurance developments in Europe and to establish closer links with
relevant quality assurance agencies there. We believe our strong
network in Europe would facilitate our contribution to the ground work
of the alignment of the HKQF and European Qualifications Framework
(EQF), which will take the HKQF to a new milestone.
知識交流
評審局擁有多年的評審經驗及質素保證
的良好聲譽，在教育局局長批准下，我
們於香港以外地區積極交流與分享專業
知識與工作經驗。自
2013
年起，評審局
受澳門特別行政區政府委託，為當地發
展澳門高等教育評鑑制度。過去兩年，
我們一直與澳門政府通力合作，協助制
定一系列評鑑指引，我們對於推動澳門
高等教育質素保證所肩負的重任深感榮
幸，並展望將來繼續審視評鑑工具的推
行實況。
連繫世界
一直以來，評審局與國際的質素保證社
群保持頻繁的交流，積極與海外質素保
證機構締結合作關係並參與國際性會
議，分享我們的知識與工作經驗。有鑑
於對跨國教育質素保證模式擁有豐富經
驗，我們獲邀參與「質素無邊界」論壇。
該論壇匯集積極發展跨國教育的國家出
席，共同探討有關院校海外分校評審工
作的挑戰。透過與會機構群策群力，我
們相信有助推廣資訊交流及推動機構之
間處理院校海外分校質素保證事宜的合
作，期望精簡院校於不同監管機構中的
質素保證程序。
最近，評審局成功向歐洲高等教育品質
保證協會申請成為其附屬會員，有助我
們了解當地的最新質素保證發展趨勢，
並與當地一眾質素保證機構建立更緊密
的合作關係，共商未來發展。我們於歐
洲建立的質素保證網絡，亦促進香港資
歷架構與歐洲資歷架構對準，推動香港
資歷架構的發展。
