Summary:

This book offers insights into developing internal quality control, especially for educational settings which have yet to establish quality system infrastructures to match leading European models. It focuses on the interest in post-control economies which have a global reach, and provides a basis for discussion of the challenges faced by institutions and governments in emerging neo-liberal economies. This book also questions the relationship of quality and neo-liberal aspiration for education and the intrinsic issues this creates. It builds on the experience of the Azerbaijani higher education institutions and regulators and offers options in an empathetic way in which emerging post-Soviet countries can establish units of internal quality assurance. It equips professionals with concise, actionable insights, enabling them to implement a robust Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) system tailored to their institution’s specific needs and objectives.
