Directorate of Quality Enhancement (QEC)

Mostly quantity and quality are thought to have reciprocal effects but in two days era of globalization this perception is considered flawed. But it does not mean that both have isolated impacts and secluded, in fact quantity is source and strength of quality and quality has amplified quantity. With internationalization of higher education quality has become major concern for leaders, experts and all the stake holders with higher education institutions. HEC after its establishment has rendered strong emphasis to enhance the quality of higher education in Pakistan, with the objective of attaining international standards. The challenge for quality assurance and enhancement in higher education has been accepted at global level and Pakistan has also responded to the challenge by establishing Quality Assurance Agency under the umbrella of Higher Education Commission. In order to put a focused attention on quality assurance aspects of higher education in Pakistani Universities, QAA (Pak) has, so far, facilitated the establishment of Quality Enhancement Cells (QECs) at Public as well as Private Sector Universities in a phased manner. Quality Assurance (QA) comprises of administrative and procedural activities implemented through a quality management system. The Quality Enhancement Cell at Bacha Khan University Charsadda is committed to excellence and continuous improvement in quality of teaching & research. Quality Enhancement Cell is determined to develop a quality culture in higher education in the university. It aims to regularly assess and review the performance of academic programs in the university based on the national and international parameters of quality and excellence in teaching and research. The Quality Enhancement Cell is responsible for planning, coordinating and following up on the self-assessment (SA) activities in accordance with guidelines set by the Higher Education Commission, Islamabad. I feel grateful to the academia & administration of Bacha Khan University for their support and determination to assure good quality of education with ultimate goal of March towards knowledge based economy.
