The Importance of Quality Assurance in Realising and Maintaining a successful LMD system in the Algerian University
Résumé
Higher Education is central to economic
and political development, and vital to
competitiveness in an increasingly
globalizing knowledge society. In the case
of Algeria, higher education plays a critical
capacity building and professional
training role in support of all the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Thus, the educational institutions are
challenged to adjust their programme
structures, curricula, teaching and learning
methods to adapt to these new demands.
In recognition of this challenge, greater
attention is being focused on quality
assurance as a critical factor to ensuring
educational relevance and success of the
LMD system. The present paper
communicates the results of the first steps
to map and to assess higher education
quality assurance (QA) in the Algerian
universities. One purpose of my
presentation would be to establish a
baseline on the status of quality assurance
in higher education in Algeria. A second
would be to provide information and to
propose relevant strategies that may assist
in enhancing and improving the new
reforms taking place in the Algerian
higher education context.
