Bold text The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) is the independent body that checks on standards and quality in UK higher education.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.qaa.ac.uk/AboutUs/Pages/default.aspx )〕 It conducts quality assessment reviews, develops reference points and guidance for providers, and conducts or commissions research on relevant issues. QAA checks how universities, colleges and alternative providers of UK higher education maintain their academic standards and quality. It does this through external peer review. Reviewers check that the 19 expectations of the Quality Code,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =http://www.qaa.ac.uk/assuring-standards-and-quality/the-quality-code )〕 agreed and recognised by the UK higher education sector, are met. It also provides advice to the Privy Council of the United Kingdom, on institutions' requests for degree awarding powers and the right to be called a university. In addition to its role in sustaining the reputation of UK higher education, QAA also regulates the Access to Higher Education Diploma,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =http://www.accesstohe.ac.uk )〕 a qualification that enables individuals without A Levels or the usual equivalent to enter higher education. QAA works closely with other organisations that have an interest in the reputation of UK higher education, including the Higher Education Academy, Universities UK and GuildHE. ==Mission and strategic aims== QAA's mission is 'to safeguard standards and improve the quality of UK higher education wherever it is delivered around the world'. Its four strategic aims may be summarised as: to address the needs of students; to safeguard standards; to drive improvements; and to improve public understanding of UK higher education.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =http://www.qaa.ac.uk/AboutUs/strategy11-14/Pages/default.aspx )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
