QAHE Announces Dual Accreditation Partnership with IARC, Kyrgyzstan



In an exciting development, QAHE (Quality Assurance in Higher Education) is proud to announce its dual accreditation partnership with the IARC Institute (Independent Institute of Accreditation, Rating and Certification) based in Kyrgyzstan.

The IARC Institute is the leading accreditation agency in the Kyrgyz Republic, providing institutional and program accreditation for higher and vocational education institutions. As an internationally recognized accreditation body, IARC's seal of approval is a testament to an institution's commitment to excellence.

Created in 2019, the Institute carries out its activities in accordance with the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Civil Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic "On Non-Profit Organizations", the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic "On Education", the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic "On Science and the Fundamentals of State Scientific and Technical Policy" and other regulatory legal acts of the Kyrgyz Republic.

IARC/NIARS obtained a license from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Kyrgyz Republic for educational programs in "Expert in the field of education," "IT," and "I&C" in 2021. The Institute has also fostered collaborations within the country, including a memorandum of cooperation and interaction with the Agency for Education Quality Control and Career Development in March 2022. Furthermore, an agreement was signed between NIARS and the Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University in August 2022, focusing on independent accreditation of educational programs and conducting training seminars in areas such as "Industrial Engineering" and "Electronics and Electrical Engineering."

In a significant development, the NIARS Research Department team developed methodologies for the formation of the national rating of colleges of the Kyrgyz Republic, which were duly registered in the State Register of Copyright Objects and the State Register of Computer Programs of the Kyrgyz Republic in 2023. These methodologies will play a pivotal role in assessing and evaluating the quality of colleges in the Kyrgyz Republic. Moreover, on July 4, 2023, NIARS PF became a full member of the International Network of Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE). INQAAHE is a global association comprising over 300 organizations actively engaged in the theory and practice of quality assurance in higher education.

Through this partnership, QAHE-accredited institutions will now have the opportunity to pursue dual accreditation from both QAHE and IARC Institute. This dual accreditation brings about several key benefits:
1. Enhanced Global Recognition: The combination of QAHE and IARC accreditation demonstrates an institution's commitment to the highest standards of education and showcases their global competitiveness.
2. Streamlined Accreditation Process: The dual accreditation arrangement allows for a more efficient and coordinated accreditation process, saving institutions time and resources.
3. Ongoing Validity: To maintain the IARC 5-year accreditation, the QAHE accreditation must remain in good standing, ensuring continuous quality assurance and monitoring.
4. Expanded Opportunities: The dual accreditation opens up new avenues for student and faculty exchanges, research collaborations, and international partnerships between the institution and IARC's network of member organizations.

For institutions interested in the additional IARC accreditation, please contact the QAHE Accreditation Committee at accreditation@qahe.org or visit here. The fee for the IARC accreditation will depend on the structure, size, and existing accreditations of the applicant institutions.

QAHE encourages all its accredited institutions to explore this exciting opportunity and take their global recognition to new heights through the dual accreditation with the IARC Institute.
