Quality assurance efforts are a catalyst for change
As a sea of graduates, dressed in blue, paraded under a hot sun in a courtyard at the University of Makeni, Sierra Leone, anticipation, relief and excitement were palpable on every face. On their graduation day, 20 March, everyone was ready to celebrate the culmination of four years’ hard work.
Among the mass of new graduates were 18 university staff members who had committed themselves to improving the student experience of the next wave of young learners from across Sierra Leone.
These new quality assurance officers hail from the Tertiary Education Commission of Sierra Leone and the seven higher education institutions across the country.
