| Abstract Text | The Editorial chapter offers an insight into the role of quality assurance in higher education from the perspective of its transformative capacity in pursuing more sustainable development. With references to the contributions of the book, the editors explore emerging models of quality assurance as a result of innovative higher education policies and changing societal expectations. A range of examples from European, Asia-Pacific and North American countries demonstrate a range of quality issues at the institutional, national and international level. Understanding of future-oriented competences and their open-ended development in the context of higher education institutions’ (HEIs) strategies represents one of the spotlights of the article. Other critical aspects that are essential precondition for reorientation of HEIs towards sustainable development will be redefinition of the notion of quality, holistic management of quality assurance (‘a whole institution approach’) and multiple partnerships within and outside academia. |
