External Liaison and Engagement
From time to time, HKCAAVQ hosts delegations from and pays
visits to overseas quality assurance bodies. In 2014, we invited
representatives from the Higher Education Evaluation & Accreditation
Council of Taiwan (HEEACT) and Taiwan Assessment and Evaluation
Association (TWAEA) to give talks to our staff on the quality assurance
system in Taiwan and their evaluation mechanisms. Also in the same
year, we received representatives from the European Commission
and the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) Advisory Group to
provide them with a general overview of the quality assurance system
in Hong Kong and how we integrate the QF, in particular, the Generic
Level Descriptors in our accreditation exercises.
Looking Forward
HKCAAVQ in its Vision Statement aspires to be “locally, nationally,
regionally and globally recognised as an efficient, effective, innovative
and accessible QA agency.” Guided by this vision statement, we set a
strategy to actively participate in the international QA community and
we consider it important to cooperate with QA agencies worldwide
to benchmark our approach and learn from their good practices. As
part of this strategy, we have recently applied for affiliate status of
the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education
(ENQA)

. We expect to receive the external report from the external
review panel on the result of our compliance with the International
Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education
(INQAAHE)’s Guidelines of Good Practices (GGP) in Quality Assurance
in mid 2015. We will then apply to INQAAHE for recognition of our
work in alignment with the GGP. Owing to the international nature of
higher education in Hong Kong, we will continue to consolidate and
extend our international reach to keep abreast of the relevant world
trends and best practices.

The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA)
is an umbrella organisation which represents quality assurance organisations
from the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) member states. ENQA
promotes European co-operation in the field of quality assurance in higher
education and disseminates information and expertise among its members
and towards stakeholders in order to develop and share good practice and
to foster the European dimension of quality assurance.
歐洲高等教育品質保證協會（
ENQA
）為代表
歐洲高等教育區（
EHEA
）成員國質素保證機
構的組織，主責促進當地於高等教育質素保
證範疇的發展，協助成員國及持份者交流相
關資訊及專業知識，持續分享良好的作業模
式，藉以改善歐洲的質素保證發展。
評審局不但派員探訪海外質素保證機
構，亦接待海外代表團來訪。於
2014
年，我們分別邀請財團法人高等教育評
鑑中心基金會及社團法人台灣評鑑協會
的代表來港為職員講解台灣的質素保證
與評核制度。年內，我們亦接待歐洲聯

代表團來訪，闡述香港的質素保證制度
的發展，並介紹評審局於資歷架構下，
按資歷級別通用指標進行評審的服務詳
情。
展望未來工作
評審局一直致力發展為本地、全國、亞
太區及全球公認的高效、創新及具透明
度的質素保證機構。為實踐願景，評審
局訂定傳訊策略並積極參與國際性的質
素保證活動，我們深信此舉有助比對工
作模式，取海外機構之長，改善服務水
平。近日，評審局向歐洲高等教育品質
保證協會申請成為其附屬會員。另外，
由評審小組按高等教育質素保證國際網
絡《優良評鑑準則》評價評審局服務而
撰寫的外評報告，料於
2015
年
5
月完成，
隨後我們會將報告提交至高等教育質素
保證國際網絡委員會，以驗證我們的工
作符合其準則。鑑於香港高等教育的國
際化發展背景，評審局將矢志拓展國際
網絡，緊貼質素保證的國際趨勢與優秀
作業模式。
