Burkina Faso – Reform of Higher Education Quality Assurance

Reform of Quality Assurance in Higher Education and Research in Burkina Faso

The project aimed to reform the quality assurance and inspection framework for teacher training, academic programmes, institutions, and research activities in Burkina Faso. It established a quality assurance system for higher education, assessed and improved academic programmes and curricula, and strengthened institutional inspection and evaluation mechanisms for universities and training institutions. The reform enhanced the quality and coherence of training and research, and ensured better alignment between higher education provision, national needs, and qualifications frameworks.
