Together with this year’s report, we are also providing the analytical review of activities designed to describe the quality of education improvement for the 2011-2013 period. For the most part, 2013, was focused heavily on internal organizational development. Important steps were taken in terms of improvement of external mechanisms for quality assurance in education and for the internationalization of the Georgian educational system. In 2013, the Center’s long-term strategic development plan was drafted and it provides an excellent opportunity for all employees to participate and contribute to the process. Through collaborative efforts, we determined Elene Jibladze a common perspective, mission and crafted future plans for the center’s Director of the National Center for further development. Educational Quality Enhancement The division of the Authorisation Council into Authorisation Councils of general, vocational and higher education institutions also took place, and this was a step forward in the continued development of education quality assurance

    The Best and the Worst Practices of Quality Enhancement – Case of Georgia

    The Best and the Worst Practices of Quality Enhancement – Case of Georgia Research Project Report Executive Summary (full text available only in Georgian) Tbilisi State University 2010 Nino Javakhishvili - research group leader Students: Nana Chabukiani Magda Javakhishvili Sophia Gogsadze Manana Makaridze This project has been funded with support from the European Commission. This publication reflects the views only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein. Introduction Study of Quality Assurance services of seven Georgian universities was conducted in April – June 2010 in the frames of the project: “The Best and the Worst Practices of Quality Enhancement - Case of Georgia” that was supported by National Tempus Office of Georgia. Reform of higher education system started in 2005 in Georgia and respectively, quality assurance service has become 5 years old. Nowadays all public and the majority of private Higher Educational Institutions have established quality assurance departments. It is now interesting to look at what has been achieved and what is still missing in the activities of these services in Georgian universities. Methodology Case study method was used where combination of semi-structured interviews with study of relevant documentation of the sampled universities (retrieved from the websites) was utilized. Interviews were processed using content-analysis method. A sample of seven major research universities was studied. They were selected to keep the representation: public and private, and central (located in the capital of Georgia) and regional universities were studied, also, some of these are relatively small size universities and some are relatively large size universities.
