In January 2019, EUA’s Tia Loukkola wrote an article in which she examines the different frameworks for higher education quality assurance in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Loukkola compares the African Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance – developed under the EU-funded “Harmonisation of African Higher Education Quality Assurance and Accreditation” – and the ASEAN Quality Assurance Framework – disseminated and piloted in the context of another EU-funded programme, – as well as the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area .
