 Benchmarking Report compiled for the academic year
2014-2015, throws light on some important points of
concern in terms of the quality assurance issues. The
approach of the topics included in this report assists the
understanding of the fact that many of the activities that
were already in place at the end of the academic year 2014,
need further development; while more activities that were
not part of the Inner Quality Assurance structures and
processes for the same year, were changed, improved or
included in the action plan of the Benchmarking Report for
the year 2014-2015. This enhances the processes that should
be undertaken for the academic year 2015-2016 in terms of
the IQA strategic action plan.

 And about IQAU benchmarking:
- The implementation of IQAU monitoration of the

Based on the above elements of Benchmarking

Suggestions and trainings for improvement of:
 The implementation of IQAU monitoration of the
University strategic plan
 IQAU monitoring support systems of students
 IQAU promotions of the culture of academic
quality within the university (Only through its
procedures which require the academic and
adminstrative staff to undertake changes that
bring about QA improvements. More suggestions
are needed.)

ALSO:
 Training on IQA tools and mechanisms that should be
involved in IQA measurement.
 There is need for trainings to increase the awareness of the
academic staff and of the students for forms, ways, tools
and procedures in which the quality may be assured on
their behalf.
 There is need for frequent training for the IQAU staff that
needs to update its information, knowledge and activity
tools.
