高等教育大众化及其后果，如高等教育的成本、由谁来支付、教育的类型、教育的机构类型、如何评价教育、由谁来评价等，是许多国家都在努力解决的问题。这些问题的核心是保证机构活动的质量，即研究和其他创造性活动的质量，各种形式的教学，以及为当地和更广泛的社区提供咨询和一般服务。目前，权力平衡正在每个教育系统内趋同，并且在各个系统之间变得更加相似。因此，正在采用类似的质量保证方法。本文描述了一些常见的质量问题，以及一些用于解决这些问题的程序和工具。
Abstract Many countries are grappling with similar issues in higher education, the main issues being mass higher education and its many consequences, such as the cost, who should pay, appropriate types of education, appropriate types of institution, how to evaluate the education, and who should evaluate it. Central to these considerations is the assurance of the quality of institutional activities, namely research and other creative activities, teaching in all its forms, and consulting and general service to the local and wider communities. Currently, power balances are converging within each educational system, and becoming more similar across systems. Consequently, similar methods for quality assurance (QA) are being adopted. This paper describes some of the commonly occurring preoccupations with quality, and some of the procedures and tools being used to address them.
