This section of the report outlines the role of external quality assurance, the current situation and experience with quality assurance standards.

Building on the findings of the 2009 report - which identified the need to make QA more efficient and transparent for users; to link it overtly to wider higher education priorities; and to develop cross-border cooperation to improve quality – and drawing on a wide range of sources, it highlights the potential for quality assurance to play a more active role in supporting reform at system and institutional levels and proposes EU actions to support institutions and Member States.

The definition of quality assurance standards is under continuous development. An example is the organisation of seminars by the E4 Group[10] on issues such as: the use of learning outcomes; the link to qualifications frameworks; the publication of quality assurance reports; the recognition of prior learning; transnational education; the internationalisation of procedures; and the cooperation and compatibility with other world regions.

- Level of student participation: countries score best if students participate in the governance of national quality assurance bodies, in external reviews of HEIs and/or programmes, in internal quality assurance processes and in preparation of self-assessment reports.
