Abstract

Quality assurance policies have been introduced in the higher education systems of many countries. These developments have occurred against the backdrop of globalisation, the internationalisation of higher education, and the knowledge economy. We shall show how, as a conceptual tool, the idea of quality assurance is problematic and that there is no commonly accepted definition of quality assurance. We discuss the relevant literature and argue that in future comparative studies of South African and Nigerian higher education could contribute to current understandings of quality assurance. Such studies, based upon the perspectives of local constituents, have to date not been carried out in Africa.
尼日利亚和南非高等教育质量保证的比较研究
许多国家的高等教育系统都实行了质量保证政策。这些发展都是在全球化、高等教育国际化和知识经济的背景下发生的。我们将说明,作为一个概念性的工具,质量保证的概念是有问题的,并且没有普遍接受的质量保证的定义。我们讨论了相关文献,并认为在未来对南非和尼日利亚高等教育的比较研究可以有助于当前对质量保证的理解。这种根据当地组成部分的观点进行的研究迄今尚未在非洲进行。
