Establish employer surveys
Poor feedback
Limited role
Contribution of QECs for program accreditation No direct link with accreditation councils
Encourage departments for accreditation to fulfil HEC criteria
Institution cooperation with directors of QECs Work as an imposed cell in institutions
Lack of departments corporation
No liberty for directors
Limited resources are given to QECs
Challenges of director of QECs Additional charges of directors, Mushroom growth of programs
Internal resistance for QEC practices, Incorporation of departments in
SARs and IPE, Limited institutional interest, Untrained QECs staff
Lack of research and development, Temporary QEC staffing
Conservative mind set towards quality assurance, Cooperation of vice
chancellors
Teacher Education
 NACTE signifies that the educational institution provides a quality education by meeting minimum predefined standards.
NACTE does not regulate graduate attributes development, and reflection of accredited programs in students. NACTE
places a higher emphasis on the inputs of educational programs more than outcome-based education.
 Teachers (accredited & non-accredited programs) are expected revision of the accreditation standards and accreditation
process including the development of a modern graduate attribute and transformative quality.
 Teachers (accredited & non-accredited programs) and students (only accredited program) are satisfied with teacher
education program quality, while students (non-accredited) are not much satisfied.
 The graduates’ acquired attributes do not meet their requirement to perform well in working world. Graduates from teacher
education program whether accredited and non-accredited exhibited that their expectation were higher in comparison to
what they acquired through teacher education program.
 NACTE face the challenges of influence of conflict of interest, academic corruption, lack of resources, trained and
professional accreditors, monitoring of private sectors, awareness of accreditation and documentations, mushroom growth
of teacher education program, and lack of HEIs’ interest in accreditation.
Conclusion
Section I Based on findings from quantitative and qualitative data analysis
Engineering
 PEC has had a powerful impact on the provision of engineering programs through threshold standards and full signatory
status in Washington Accord. The accreditation committee focus on outcome-based-education to meet international
standards of engineering program quality.
 Teachers (accredit and non-accredit programs) are less satisfied about the standards of PEC.
 The teachers (accredited & non-accredited programs) are more satisfied about their program quality while students
(accredited & non-accredited programs) are not satisfied with electrical engineering program quality as robust outcome-
based accreditation requires to build trust and satisfaction.
 The PEC faced many challenges as: encouraging industries to take interest in academia, reducing gap in relationship with
industries and government, developing resources for PEC, spreading awareness of difference between recognition and
accreditation, implementing graduates’ attributes as outcomes-base-education, academic corruption, political interference,
and implementing quality assurance policy all over the country.
 Gaps are found between expectations and acquisition of graduates from electrical engineering program. The graduates of
electrical engineering perceptions explain huge gaps in required and acquired graduate attributes integration during
studies.
Conclusion
Section II Based on findings from quantitative and qualitative data analysis
❑ The status of curriculum quality, teaching quality, assessment system, and support services area is
average level but in development process of graduate attributes in students is still a challenging factor.
❑ The universities do not have any strategic professional quality improvement unit that monitor and assess
gradates attributes development. The role of QECs limited to make SARs and IPE only.
❑ There is lack of mutual relationship between accreditation councils and QECs that causes gaps in
promoting program quality and graduate attributes.
❑ The contextual conditions influencing the effective implementation of graduate attributes are overlooked
by the internal and external quality assurance practices with multiple challenges and issues.
Conclusion
Section III Based on findings from quantitative and qualitative data analysis

  • 26. Teacher Education  NACTE signifies that the educational institution provides a quality education by meeting minimum predefined standards. NACTE does not regulate graduate attributes development, and reflection of accredited programs in students. NACTE places a higher emphasis on the inputs of educational programs more than outcome-based education.  Teachers (accredited & non-accredited programs) are expected revision of the accreditation standards and accreditation process including the development of a modern graduate attribute and transformative quality.  Teachers (accredited & non-accredited programs) and students (only accredited program) are satisfied with teacher education program quality, while students (non-accredited) are not much satisfied.  The graduates’ acquired attributes do not meet their requirement to perform well in working world. Graduates from teacher education program whether accredited and non-accredited exhibited that their expectation were higher in comparison to what they acquired through teacher education program.  NACTE face the challenges of influence of conflict of interest, academic corruption, lack of resources, trained and professional accreditors, monitoring of private sectors, awareness of accreditation and documentations, mushroom growth of teacher education program, and lack of HEIs’ interest in accreditation. Conclusion Section I Based on findings from quantitative and qualitative data analysis
  • 27. Engineering  PEC has had a powerful impact on the provision of engineering programs through threshold standards and full signatory status in Washington Accord. The accreditation committee focus on outcome-based-education to meet international standards of engineering program quality.  Teachers (accredit and non-accredit programs) are less satisfied about the standards of PEC.  The teachers (accredited & non-accredited programs) are more satisfied about their program quality while students (accredited & non-accredited programs) are not satisfied with electrical engineering program quality as robust outcome- based accreditation requires to build trust and satisfaction.  The PEC faced many challenges as: encouraging industries to take interest in academia, reducing gap in relationship with industries and government, developing resources for PEC, spreading awareness of difference between recognition and accreditation, implementing graduates’ attributes as outcomes-base-education, academic corruption, political interference, and implementing quality assurance policy all over the country.  Gaps are found between expectations and acquisition of graduates from electrical engineering program. The graduates of electrical engineering perceptions explain huge gaps in required and acquired graduate attributes integration during studies. Conclusion Section II Based on findings from quantitative and qualitative data analysis
  • 28. ❑ The status of curriculum quality, teaching quality, assessment system, and support services area is average level but in development process of graduate attributes in students is still a challenging factor. ❑ The universities do not have any strategic professional quality improvement unit that monitor and assess gradates attributes development. The role of QECs limited to make SARs and IPE only. ❑ There is lack of mutual relationship between accreditation councils and QECs that causes gaps in promoting program quality and graduate attributes. ❑ The contextual conditions influencing the effective implementation of graduate attributes are overlooked by the internal and external quality assurance practices with multiple challenges and issues. Conclusion Section III Based on findings from quantitative and qualitative data analysis
  • 29. Research Implication For accrediting bodies • Aligned standards that promote graduate attributes • Pay attention on graduate attributes as per NPSTs/WA • Realise the importance of graduate attributes to reduce skill gap • Encourage periodic revision of curriculum • Code of conduct for accredits & train accreditors through foreign expat For policy makers • Considered Triangular relationship of accreditation, quality, and graduate attributes • Implementation of graduate attributes profile in quality assessment • Build relationship between higher education and industries. • Act against academic corruption For higher education community • Permanent & Independent performance of QECs directors • Resources & trained staff • Quality of teaching and curriculum • Transformative attributes • Satisfaction & Expectations stakeholders
