Institutional Quality Units

Tertiary education in Palestine Territories is provided by 11 universities and 25 technical colleges( including polytechnics and community colleges).Although most institutions have a Process of curriculum development, few if any have a single focal point for continuous evaluation and quality improvement. In response to a current World Bank Tertiary Education Project, which will establish a Quality Improvement Fund, each tertiary institution in the Palestinian Territories is being asked to create a Quality Unit. Institution needs related to quality improvement and quality assurance include: enhanced institutional self evaluation, including training; improved institutional information; enhanced institutional planning based on strategic goals; and improved liaison with the national program quality assurance body.
