OBREAL is present at the 13th Annual East African Higher Education Quality Assurance Forum, hosted in Nairobi, Kenya, from September 9 to 12. The Forum provides, on an annual basis, a platform in which quality assurance practitioners come together to share experiences on areas of common interest in ensuring and managing quality in the institutions.
This year’s theme is “Advancing Quality of Higher Education through International Cooperation and Networking, Harmonization and Integration”. OBREAL is part of this forum as an organization that promotes international cooperation in the higher education sector but also as the coordinator of the HAQAA Initiative, a project funded by the European Commission that focuses, among others, on Quality Assurance, Harmonization and Integration in Africa.
