Towards a model for the quality assurance and enhancement of higher education specific to Catalonia?
Despite the difficulty of making predictions about the future within the scope of quality assurance and enhancement in higher education, three possible undercurrents at European scale are emerging: the first is a move in the direction of a greater European dimension in quality assurance systems; the second undercurrent may lead to a drastic reduction in the intensity of quality assurance; and third involves the proposal to transform national QA agencies into places of encounter for academic communities and stakeholders with an interest in the quality of higher education.
