Al-Saraiera: No overlap between Accreditation and Education Authorities
The Chairman of the Higher Education Institutions Accreditation and Quality Assurance Authority, Dr. Zafer Al-Sraira, discussed the absence of any overlap or conflict of jurisdiction between the Authority and the Ministries of Education, Higher Education, and Labor. He clarified that the governance system clearly separates the responsibilities of licensing and accreditation. He confirmed that the ministries are responsible for issuing licenses to establish educational institutions, while the Authority evaluates and accredits academic programs thereafter, within an ongoing framework since 2007. He also pointed out that the regulatory responsibilities related to vocational and technical training have been transferred from the Authority to the Ministry of Labor, following the merger of the Authority with the Technical and Vocational Skills Development and Enhancement Authority. He emphasized the importance of synchronizing the implementation of laws to achieve efficient sector regulation.
