With the rapid expansion of higher education institutions throughout the world and education’s increasingly market-based orientation, students, parents, higher educators, employers and governments have a much greater interest in the actual academic quality of universities and colleges in various dimensions in the era of globalization. Universities and colleges are definitely beginning to take on accountability toward related members of the school and societies in the same way that private enterprise does. In this way, universities are supposed to act as an effective organizer and a good learner on how to improve their quality, particularly in research and teaching quality, through several assessment tools. Hence, a major concern for Asian governments is how to assure quality in higher education and how to enhance global competitiveness through a variety of national policies and institutional engagement. As a result, quality assurance mechanisms, which emphasize output monitoring and measurements and systems of accountability and auditing, have become more popular in Asian and other regions.

Higher Education is in a state of ferment. People are seriously discussing whether the medieval ideal of the university as being excellent in all areas makes sense today, given the number of universities that we have in the world. Student fees are changing the orientation of students to the system. The high rate of non repayment of fees in the UK is provoking difficult questions about whether the current system of funding makes sense. There are disputes about the ratio of research to teaching, and further discussions about the international delivery of courses.

"The lack of academic integrity combined with the prevalence of fraud and other forms of unethical behavior are problems that higher education faces in both developing and developed countries, at mass and elite universities, and at public and private institutions. While academic misconduct is not new, massification, internationalization, privatization, digitalization, and commercialization have placed ethical challenges higher on the agenda for many universities. Corruption in academia is particularly unfortunate, not only because the high social regard that universities have traditionally enjoyed, but also because students-young people in critical formative years-spend a significant amount of time in universities. How they experience corruption while enrolled might influence their later personal and professional behavior, the future of their country, and much more. Further, the corruption of the research enterprise is especially serious for the future of science. The contributors to Corruption in Higher Education: Global Challenges and Responses bring a range of perspectives to this critical topic"--

This edited volume examines the importance of quality issues in contemporary higher education systems in the Asia Pacific. Part One foregrounds relevant discussions of ‘quality’ within today’s globalized, interconnected, and complex higher education systems while Part Two focuses on selected universities in the Asia Pacific region. Chapter contributors discuss how quality issues and quality assurance mechanisms are implemented in their situation-specific systems. Part Three extends the research of higher education quality assurance in Hawaii Pacific University (HPU) and the diverse international student body in the Australian higher education system. The conclusion chapter discusses a typology of methods used by higher education systems in establishing effective quality assurance mechanisms.

The Global Trends in Higher Education Quality Assurance: Challenges and Opportunities in Internal and External Quality Assurance provides a comprehensive coverage of the trends and developments in higher education quality assurance as they refer to legitimacy/trust, efficiency and relevance.

Zusammenfassung: This is an open access book. It is with great pleasure and excitement that we gather here today for the annual international academic conference organized by the Mongolian National University of Education. For the past seventeen years, this conference has served as a platform for scholars and researchers to explore and discuss critical issues in higher education. Each year, we witness its growth in scope, quality, and participation, reaffirming its significance as a forum for intellectual exchange and collaboration. This conference since the last year was registered in the Atlantis Press of Springer Nature, providing open access to all the research papers presented and discussed during our time together. This development not only highlights the significance of our scholarly contributions but also amplifies the impact of our collective knowledge on a global scale. It is indeed an honor to host esteemed researchers from six countries, this international collaboration reflects the importance of cross-cultural dialogue and the shared commitment to advancing education quality. We are grateful to the participating organizations, such as the Ministry of Education and Science, Mongolian National Council of Education Accreditation, and many others, for their valuable contributions and support. Especially, thanks to the gold-level sponsor KHAN bank. Throughout this conference, a total of 29 papers will be discussed in plenary and three parallel sessions focusing on "New generation learner - learning", "New generation teacher - teaching" and "Future education policy and planning". Additionally, there will be some enlightening poster presentations, further enriching our understanding of the subject matter. The increase in research volume on higher education quality and its relevant disciplines is a testament to our collective dedication and determination to improve educational systems worldwide. It is our hope that this conference will serve as a catalyst for policy development, knowledge dissemination, and research advancement, fostering an environment of collaboration and innovation among scholars and practitioners. On behalf of the Mongolian National University of Education, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the participants, presenters, organizers, and sponsors who have contributed to the success of this event. Your presence and active engagement will undoubtedly shape the future of higher education and inspire positive change in teaching, learning, and policy implementation. May this conference be a platform for enlightening discussions, fruitful networking, and the exchange of transformative ideas. Together, let us embark on this journey of exploring the intricacies of quality assurance in higher education and building a better future for the new generation of learners

The Rise of Quality Assurance in Asian Higher Education provides information on the well researched quality assurance frameworks, processes, standards, and internal and external monitoring that have taken place around the globe. However, in Asia, where higher education has witnessed rapid growth, and is also contributing significantly to international education which is benefited by many developed countries, this data has not been readily available. In recent years, governments in Asia have made significant investment with an aim of creating education hubs to ensure that higher education is internationally competitive. This book examines the developments in higher education quality assurance in eleven Asian countries, providing systematic insights into national quality assurance arrangements and also examining the different approaches governments in Asia have implemented based on social and economic contexts. - Includes chapters from eleven countries that examine quality assurance arrangements - Explores untold case studies of countries, such as Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Korea, India, and others - Examines higher education context, quality assurance arrangements, effectiveness, challenges, and international quality assurance in Asia - Offers contributions from leading scholars and practitioners who are working in higher education in Asia - Provides engagement for research students
