Quality of Universities and courses in Sri Lanka

By Hiran | April 9, 2009

University Grants Commission, having recognized the need for Quality Assurance (QA) in the Sri Lankan Universities, has taken steps to introduce QA mechanisms to the University sector. 

It has a quality assurance system based on external peer review, building on universities’ internal review procedures. 

One such Quality review method is Subject Review (SR). It evaluates the quality of education within a department of study. It is focused on the quality of the student learning experience and on student achievement. SR is designed to evaluate the quality of both undergraduate and taught postgraduate programmes.

Now prospective students, parents and interested parities can read these SR reports from the web site of the Quality Assurance and Accreditation Council of the University Grants Commission.
