Europe's quality wave

Article Abstract:

The controversy which has surrounded the trend towards universities focusing on new management approaches and accountability in the UK has also characterised academic life in many other European countries. In many cases, this has been prompted by the European Commission's decision to launch a pilot scheme on quality assessment. It is now becoming widely accepted that the key to successful quality assurance is gaining the support of those who are directly involved in delivering higher education.
