Accreditation Standards for the
Institutional Review Manual for Private
University Title
In July 2015, the Education Bureau (EDB) promulgated the Roadmap
for Becoming a Private University (Roadmap). As stated in the
Roadmap, an institution may commission HKCAAVQ to carry out
an Institutional Review to evaluate whether the institution has an
appropriate academic environment, including institutional structures
and processes, resources, QA mechanisms and academic plans
befitting the status of a university. HKCAAVQ was commissioned by
EDB to develop an Institutional Review Manual for Private University
Title for this purpose. The development of the accreditation standards
in the manual followed the requirements stipulated in the Roadmap,
and was supported by research and analysis of relevant local and
international standards. During the development, potential applicants
were consulted using a draft version of the accreditation standards.
Stakeholders’ Feedback
As a learning organisation, HKCAAVQ strives to continuously improve
its efficiency and effectiveness through systematic collection and
analysis of feedback from operators, panel members and experts.
Surveys of panel members and experts are conducted in-house,
seeking views on the accreditation process and the support provided
by HKCAAVQ. In 2015, 95% of panel members and experts
indicated positive responses in all questions. This represents an
increase of 2% as compared to the previous year.
As per the previous year, we continued to engage an external
agency to undertake the annual online survey on the accreditation,
assessment and QR services. Operators were invited to provide
feedback on the tools and processes. Among a total of 404
operators who had used our service(s) in 2014, 268 of them
responded to the survey (a response rate of 66%). The mean scores
of Overall Satisfaction measured on a five-point scale range between
3.60 and 4.14 for different services, which is similar to the findings
from the previous year and representing a high level of satisfaction
among operators.
