Short history

Until June 12, 2022, we were called Estonian Quality Agency for Higher and Vocational Education (EKKA). In the period 01.01.2009–30.07.2020, the Estonian Quality Agency for Higher and Vocational Education operated as part of the Archimedes Foundation, being the successor of the Higher Education Accreditation Center established in 1997. From August 1, 2020, we are part of the Education and Youth Board. Today, as part of the Board, we perform independent tasks and are independent in our quality assessment decisions (see the Statutes of the Education and Youth Board, in Estonian).
