Undergoing this kind of external evaluation is also a requirement for agencies who are included in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eqar.eu\/\">European Quality Assurance Register<\/a>\u00a0(EQAR).<\/p>\n<p>The agency review process is comparable to the reviews conducted by EKKA in its daily activities. The agency (in this case EKKA) compiles a thorough\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/haka.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/EKKA_Self-Evaluation_Report_2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">self-assessment report<\/a>, reporting among other things on the developments since the last review. On top of that, the assessment committee is provided with a wide range of regulatory and working documents for analysis.<\/p>\n<p>9-11 October are designated for interviews in Tallinn. The assessment panel will include Jean Pierre Finance \u2013 Professor Emeritus at University\u00a0of Lorraine, France; Marion Coy \u2013 higher education consultant, Ireland; Ronny Heintze \u2013 the commissioner for international relations at the quality agency AQAS, Germany; Olena Rusnak \u2013 student, Ukraine; and\u00a0Lindsey Kerber as coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>The assessment visit in Estonia will give the assessment panel an opportunity to\u00a0talk to EKKA staff members, representatives of higher education institutions, experts who have participated in assessments conducted by EKKA, domestic and international cooperation partners etc., in order to verify compliance with Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area. The assessment panel will, on top of assessing compliance, give recommendations to the agency for further improving its work. The assessment report on EKKA should be published\u00a0 next year.<\/p>\n<p>More information on the review can be found at https:\/\/haka.ee\/en\/agency-review-ekka\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EKKA is full member of the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education ENQA since 2013.
