| description | The implementation of a Quality Assurance System (QAS) ought not to be the responsibility of only the administrative
members of the institution. To realize effective functional mechanisms of QAS in institutions of higher
learning, there should be direct involvement of students in the system. Students play a vital role in not only
checking the excesses of the administrators but also feel the need to keep the quality standards of their institution.
When students get involved in the QAS of their institution, they fully own the decisions, policies, and
regulations that govern such an institution. This paper advocates the involvement of students in QAS and suggests
the areas in which they can best contribute. |
