Main targets of Bucharest Communiqué (2012) • Quality higher education for all • Enhancing graduates employability • Strengthening mobility for better learning
Challenges to overcome (I) • Uneven pace of reforms across the EHEA. • Lack of coherent understanding of the EHEA reforms. Variations in interpretation and their implementation hindering the existence of coherent higher education structures. • Widening access to quality higher education for all. • Creation of more trust and transparency through provision of adequate and relevant information. • Quality in relation to the HE systems; shift from merely speaking about quality to demonstrating evidence-based quality of education systems.
Challenges to overcome (II) • Promotion of quality in the third cycle, flexibility in the context of joint programmes and provision of joint-degrees. • Absence of quality assurance agencies qualified for membership of ENQA and/ or EQAR in some countries • Uneven implementation of certain aspects of the ESG, e.g. the participation of student representatives and international members of QA team. • Employability is a transversal issue and it is important to understand how it is interrelated to quality, learning outcomes and other transparency tools. • Further implementation of NQFs and learning outcomes: what developments are needed to help QFs and learning outcomes work in practice, facilitate recognition of qualifications .
