White papers on monitoring and focused review - deadline extended
QQI has launched three White Papers for public consultation:
- White Paper on Focused Review Procedures (QA and ATP)
- White Paper on Monitoring Policy and Framework
- White Paper on Procedures for Focused Reviews of Validated Programmes
QQI Monitoring Policy and Framework
This white paper sets forth QQI's new policy and overarching framework for monitoring providers within the tertiary education system, including higher education, further education and training, and English language education, detailing the principles, types, and outcomes of monitoring activities.
Procedures for the focused review of validated programmes
This white paper sets out the procedure to be followed where QQI identifies the need to initiate a focused review of validated programmes under section 46 of the Qualifications and Quality Assurance (Education and Training) Act 2012.
Procedures for focused reviews of the implementation and effectiveness of provider QA and ATP procedures
Procedures for focused reviews of the implementation and effectiveness of provider QA procedures were published in 2017. This document sets out procedures that will be followed where QQI identifies the need to initiate a focused review of the implementation and effectiveness of a provider’s quality assurance procedures under section 34(1)(b) of the 2012 Act.
How to provide feedback
We have extended the deadline for responses to this consultation until Friday 15 August.
We invite stakeholders, including education providers, policymakers, and the public, to review the white papers and provide your feedback to us during the consultation period. In addition to seeking submissions, QQI will be conducting some focus group discussions with providers.
