Macau is witnessing an important transition in the field of higher education. Since 2013, the Tertiary Education Services Office (Gabinete de Apoio ao Ensino Superior, GAES) of the MSAR government has been making good progresses in developing a system of higher education accreditation in Macau.
To enhance the quality of higher education in Macau, the Office has hosted a series of consultation conferences to discuss a set of guidelines for institutional accreditation and auditing as well as new program accreditation by well recognized external agencies. The guidelines are now being finalized by experienced experts from the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications after intensive consultation with representatives from higher education institutions in Macau. To support this unprecedented reform and make USJ an outstanding learning institution, the university has actively participated in the consultation process. Rector Fr. Stilwell, Pro-Rector Yang, Advisor Kong and other administrators attended the various GAES meetings and provided opinions to the Hong Kong team of experts. The following is a press release of GAES about a recent debriefing meeting to introduce a pilot project of new program accreditation that will be launched in 2015.
