University: A Path to Quality and Progress

In advanced societies, supervision and evaluation provide the foundation for the efficiency and effectiveness of their respective systems and have always held an important and noteworthy position. Their importance is even greater in higher education, because the higher education system, as a pioneering system that shapes policy, can foster development in social, cultural, and human dimensions and influence other fields.

Understanding the extent to which higher education goals have been achieved, as well as identifying shortcomings and strengths (the current situation), is an essential tool that can help decision-makers, policymakers, and higher education planners improve methods, achieve objectives, and increase productivity.

To achieve the objectives set out in Article 1 of the Regulations on the Establishment and Operation of the Council for Supervision and Evaluation of Higher Education, approved on 22 May 2007, supervision and evaluation offices are established at each university and higher education institution in the country to serve as the secretariat of the Council for Supervision and Evaluation. The head of the Supervision and Evaluation Office is appointed by the university president.
