Indonesian Higher Education Vision 2010 • On 1 April 2003 the DGHE has proclaimed HELTS 2003 - 2010 (the Higher Education Long Term Strategy 2003 – 2010) • Which incorporates the Indonesian Higher Education Vision: • In order to contribute to the nation’s competitiveness, the national higher education has to be organizationally healthy, and the same requirement also applies to institutions. A structural adjustment in the existing system is, however, needed to meet this challenge. The structural adjustment aims, by the year of 2010, of having a healthy higher education system, effectively coordinated and demonstrated by the following features : • Quality • Access and Equity • Autonomy
Strategic Issues in the HELTS 2003 - 2010 One of the strategic issues described in the HELTS 2003 – 2010 point E is Quality Assurance as stated below: In healthy organizations, continuous quality improvement should become its primary concern. Quality assurance should be internally driven, institutionalized within each organization’s standard procedure, and could also involve external parties. However, since quality is also a concern of all stakeholders, quality improvement should aim at producing quality outputs and outcomes as part of public accountability.
The New Paradigm Assurance/ Evaluasi Quality Autonomy Accountability Accreditation The purpose of evaluation is not to prove but to improve. (Stufflebeam et al., Educational Evaluation and Design Making, 1997)
The Definition of Higher Education Quality Assurance Higher Education Quality Assurance is the process of defining and fulfillment of Higher Education Quality Management Standards in a consistent and sustainable manner in order to satisfy all its stakeholders (students, parents, industry, government, lecturers, supporting staff, and other relevant parties)
