Organisation
The Quality Assurance Units constitute the core of the quality assurance system in the Algerian higher education sector. This system is also composed of the followings:
- CIAQES (the Implementation of Quality Assurance Commission in Higher Education, Decree No. 167 of May 31, 2010): an organ which is dependent on the Secretary General of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and responsible – among others – to support the Quality Assurance Units and the RAQ in their procedures.
- The regional CIAQES of the east, west and the center
- The CNE (National Evaluation Council, decree of January 21, 2010)
- The Assurance Unit of the quality of the institution (Quality Assurance Manager).
- The RNAQES (Referential National Quality Assurance System in Higher Education). This document is deemed to be a basis for assuring a good quality at the university. On one hand, it includes references, and on the other hand it contains the criteria and evidences needed for evaluation of a good implementation. (The document can be downloaded from the CIAQES site).
