QAA Annual Report 2075/76 HEQAAC 68 Annual Report 2075/076 (2018/019) HIGHER EDUCATION QUALITY ASSURANCE AND ACCREDITATION COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT 2075/076 (2018/019) UNIVERSITY GRANTS COMMISSION QUALITY ASSURANCE AND ACCREDITATION DIVISION SANOTHIMI, BHAKTAPUR, NEPAL HEQAAC 2075/076 (2018/019) Annual Report 69 ANNUAL REPORT OF HIGHER EDUCATION QUALITY ASSURANCE AND ACCREDITATION COUNCIL, 2075/076 Copyright © : University Grants Commission, Quality Assurance & Accreditation Council, Sanothimi, Bhaktapur, Nepal Edition : December 2019 (Second) Printed Copies : 500 Layout : Digital Print Nepal, 014332600 Printed at : HEQAAC 70 Annual Report 2075/076 (2018/019) FROM THE DESK OF THE CHAIRMAN igher education is the backbone of development and the future of a nation. Its primary aim is to Hproduce qualified, creative and competitive citizens nationally, regionally and globally. To achieve this aim, governments are making their best efforts through introducing various policies, acts, rules and guidelines and by establishing necessary institutions to manage the system. In Nepal, the University Grants Commission (UGC) was established in 2050 BS (1993 AD) as an apex institution to provide grants and coordinate regulate activities related to higher education. Education policies provide road map to the prosperity of the nation and over the last seven decades i.e., since 1950 the country has also implemented at least eight progressive education policies of Nepal and the ‘National Education Policy 2076’ is the latest one. At present, Nepal has 11 operating Universities, six health-science Academies and 1425 higher education institutions (HEIs) under these universities and academies. More than a hundred HEIs are offering academic programs of foreign universities as well. However, the enrolment rate in higher education is quite low (i.e. 15%). On the one hand, while this reflects a poor access of higher education to more than one-sixth of total eligible population of the country, maintaining and upgrading the quality of graduates has been an issue of great concern in Nepal. The instructional practices in higher education are still largely limited to classroom teaching. It has yet to be research based, ICT- equipped and interactive. The government of Nepal and UGC are trying to improve the situation through various policy provisions and supports. The UGC systematizes the flow of resource to HEIs, monitors their performances, and evaluates the outcomes in order to improve quality of higher education and provide policy feedback to the government. The term "quality" in this case refers to a process of developing a comparative understanding of the local context to form a global worldview on education and its outcomes. We have to enhance the quality of higher education through improvement in teaching-learning and research environment. Our graduates must have critical thinking ability and strong knowledge base so that they compete internationally. Otherwise, it is unlikely to achieve the nation's motto of “Prosperous Nepal and Happy Nepali.UGC is making efforts to advance the quality of higher education by adopting various strategies including the Quality Assurance and Accreditation (QAA) system. However, to date the performance of many HEIs are not up to the mark. The history of accreditation of HEIs dates back to more than a century in the global context. In Nepal it was initiated in 2007 as a pilot project and formally adopted from 2009 with implementation of Second Higher Education Project (SHEP 2007-2014). The system has been further strengthened under IDA (International Development Association) supported Higher Education Reform Project (HERP) 2014-2020. Over the years, our QAA system has been improved and strengthened, although it seems like a long journey. UGC Nepal wishes all HEIs in Nepal to come to the purview of QAA system within next five years and meet the benchmarks and indicators related to accreditation. To date, 325 HEIs have voluntarily applied for QAA process and are at different stage of assessment. Among them, 113 HEIs have completed self-assessment and submitted their Self-Assessment Report (SSR) to which Technical Committee has approved SSR report of 76 HEIs. Fourty three HEIs have completed the assessment cycle and 33 have been accredited. Higher Education Quality Assurance and Accreditation Council (HEQAAC) is the governing body to assess and recommend HEIs for accreditation to UGC. The Quality Assurance and Accreditation Division (QAAD) at UGC functions as the Secretariat of the Council. The Secretariat has started publishing its annual report and Annual Report 2075/76 is the second in the sequence. This report presents details on the existing policy provisions for QAA system, necessary steps to be followed for accreditation and the long-term vision of the HEQAAC highlighted in its Strategic Plan: Destination 2030. The Plan has a vision of assuring the operation of Nepali HEIs as capable of producing knowledge and human resources competitive to fulfill the changing national and global requirements. The vision is further supported through specified core values together with mission and goals as the roadmap to destination 2030. This report also summarizes the activities the QAAD completed in the year 2075/76. In a nutshell, during the year a total of 25 HEQAAC 2075/076 (2018/019) Annual Report 71 HEIs submitted their Letter of Intent (LoI) to participate in QAA process. A total of 51 portfolio meetings of Peer Review Team (PRT) members were held in course of assessing different HEIs. The HEQAA Council met for eight times while Technical Committee that evaluates the SSR and approves for assessment process met for 9 times. Orientation workshops to peer reviewers involving international experts were held at the center while similar workshops to facilitate SSR preparation were also held at provincial levels. Accreditation certificate was awarded to 13 HEIs by organizing four award ceremonies in different dates. International networking of Nepali accreditation agency has been expanded. Membership with International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE) has been renewed. Membership with Asia-Pacific Quality Network (APQN), has also been renewed. This year, we signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) with National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), India that was long overdue. During the year the Division was also able to organize interaction programson ‘QAA in Nepal: Issues, challenges, and way forward’ and ‘Engineering Education in Nepal: Future Perspective and Challenges’, the latter in collaboration with Nepal Engineering Council (NEC) in company with the Association of Engineering College of Nepal (AECON). The accreditation of HEIs is a global concern and is essential to ensure quality of higher education. Therefore, Nepal cannot escape from it. It is important that our HEIs are accredited following standard quality criteria and assessment process compatible with international practice. Otherwise, graduates from Nepali HEI risk facing many challenges such as recognition of degrees. The drive of UGC to become a member of international network of accreditation agencies such as INQAAHE and APQN and its ongoing dialogues to establish bilateral relationship with a number of countries is meant not only to help standardize our higher education system but also reinforce our recognition and identity to the international level. At this point, I would like to thank the Director, the Program Officer and other staff of QAA Division for their hard work. The constant support of the council members, experts (including international), and technical committee members is highly appreciated. I also acknowledge the support of colleagues and co-workers from other Divisions of UGC Nepal. Last but not the least the team engaged in preparing this annual report deserves special thanks. We believe our readers will find this report valuable to understand Nepal's QAA system and its achievements. We anticipate the stakeholders’ support to sustain and improve the system for its wide ranging impact in higher education in Nepal. We look forward to receiving constructive feedback to bring the system to the next level. We also request all HEIs to come to the purview of QAA system. We believe our commitment to QAA and your support will eventually bring Nepali higher education to an internationally competitive standard.

    Tribhuvan University Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal July 17, 2013 Message from the Vice-Chancellor It gives me immense pleasure that TU Today is coming up with the updated information on Tribhuvan University (TU) in its 54th year of establishment. On this occasion, I would like to thank the Information Section, TU, and all those involved in the publica- tion of TU Today. Furthermore, I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the teaching faculty whose relentless work, dedication and honest contribution has helped the university open up innovative academic programmes, maintain the quality of education, and enhance teaching and research. I also thank the administrative staff for effi ciently bearing the management responsibility. Nonetheless, I urge the faculty and the staff for their additional devotion, commitment and effi ciency to retain TU as one of the quality higher education institutions in the country. It is an objective reality among us that TU has been the fi rst choice of a large number of students and guardians for higher education. I sincerely thank for their trust on TU for higher education and express my unwavering determination and commitment to serve them the best by providing excellent academic opportunity. I would like to urge the students to help the university maintain its academic ethos by managing politics, maximiz- ing learning activities, and respecting the ideals of university without condition. Despite its commitment to enhance and impart quality education, TU faces many challenges in governance and resource management for providing basic infrastructure and educational facilities required for quality education environment. In spite of limited infrastructures and educational facilities, it has been producing effi cient and competent graduates.
