MESSAGES
H
ONOURABLE FOUNDING members of the
University Council of Jamaica (UCJ),
leadership and staff, on behalf of the
INQAAHE Board of Directors, I am honoured to
extend our heartfelt congratulations to the
University Council of Jamaica on the
occasion of the 13th Annual Quality
Assurance in Higher Education
Week, to be held from March 5-9,
under the theme, ‘Enhancing and
Sustaining Quality in Institutions’.
One of the key objectives for the
QA Week is to assist the tertiary
education system in Jamaica in the
development of its institutions by
providing training and professional advice
on quality assurance matters. It is commendable
to see the enhancement role of the UCJ within
the frames of quality assurance in Jamaica.
Indeed, the role of UCJ in the establishment and
operationalisation of a robust QA system in
Jamaica is paramount and cannot be
overemphasised. By providing quality assurance
guidance and services to tertiary education and
its stakeholders, as well as establishing a robust
platform for the enhancement of tertiary
education provisions, UCJ continuously raises
the standards of excellence while serving
as a role model for developing and
newly emerging systems.
The role of UCJ in the
operations of INQAAHE is also
commendable. Being one of
the most active and honoured
members, your continuous
contribution to the INQAAHE
activities is tangible and can
never be overestimated.
As president of INQAAHE, I take this
opportunity to extend my highest
commendations for the admirable job done
by the UCJ to enhance and sustain a quality
culture in the Jamaican tertiary education
