A senior staff of the National Commission on Higher Education (NCHE) has disclosed that despite the challenges limiting the performance of the commission for which its presence may not be felt in the public sapce, it made some strides in 2020 in line with its obligation.
James Andrew Lablah, Director of Quality Assurance (QA) at NCHE, said in the year under review, the commission drafted its first ever “Licensing Policy” which was endorsed by the Board of Commissioners for the first time since the establishment of the NCHE in 1989. The policy specifies standards for licensing and accrediting higher education institutions in Liberia. In past times, the NCHE had only operated on “frameworks” and “guidelines”. About 200 copies of the policy have been produced, pending launching by President George M. Weah.
