Bahrain¡¯s universities to be inspected by British Accreditation Council

The British Accreditation Council has signed a contract to inspect Bahrain¡¯s universities, in a significant expansion of its international activities.

The BAC will work with 바카라사이트 country¡¯s Higher Education Council to develop documentation for accreditation, run workshops for universities and train HEC staff, in addition to carrying out inspections of public and private institutions.

The BAC currently accredits institutions in 14 countries around 바카라사이트 world, but this is 바카라사이트 first time it has designed and agreed to conduct a nationwide inspection regime.

It also accredits private colleges in 바카라사이트 UK, but this role was diminished by government reforms in 2011 that?required accreditation by approved bodies such as 바카라사이트 Quality Assurance Agency.

The Bahrain agreement was signed by Paul Fear, 바카라사이트 BAC¡¯s chief executive, and Majed Bin Ali Al Noaimi, 바카라사이트 country¡¯s education minister.

¡°The contract represents a huge vote of confidence in 바카라사이트 rigour of BAC accreditation procedures and reflects 바카라사이트 high regard for 바카라사이트 UK¡¯s reputation for integrity and transparency in education,¡± Mr Fear said. ¡°This contract will help to support 바카라사이트 HEC in raising standards in higher education and will give confidence to both national and international students considering studying in 바카라사이트 kingdom of Bahrain.¡±
