Quality assurance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The internal quality assurance system at Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution has been developed since the founding of the institution. The system has been developed, implemented and continuously improved basing on the provisions of quality assurance in higher education laid down in the national legislation (the Law on Higher Education and Research and implementing legislation of the Ministry of Education and Science and the Centre for Quality Assessment in Higher Education.<\/p>\n

Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution is following the approach that the primary responsibility for the quality of its activity lies with a higher education institution itself<\/strong>. This approach is firmly anchored in the Law on Higher Education and Research (2009) stipulating that higher education and research institutions shall assume the responsibility for the quality of research (artistic) activities, studies and other undertakings. They must publicly announce their quality indicators and, together with the relevant assessment institutions, foster the culture of quality in higher education and research activities (Article 46). Every higher education institution must have an internal quality assurance system based on the Provisions of quality assurance in studies of the European Higher Education Area and on the strategy of improvement of activity quality approved by the higher education institution itself. The higher education institution must also have action plans and measures to ensure the quality of higher education provided by the institution (Article 47).<\/p>\n

In the process of creating and enhancing its internal system of quality assurance Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution is guided by the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area<\/strong> (ESG, 2015)<\/a>, highlighted in Article 46 of the Law on Higher Education and Research: \u201c<…> Quality assurance in higher education is based on the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area. The quality of research is assured based on the provisions of European research area <…>.\u201d<\/p>\n
