Welcome

The Caribbean Area Network for Quality Assurance in Tertiary Education (CANQATE) is a professional body established as a sub-network of the worldwide organization, the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE). It is a new initiative in the field of Quality Assurance pertinent to tertiary education in the Caribbean. The principal purpose of the worldwide network is to “enable members to share information about the maintenance, evaluation, accreditation and improvement of higher education, and to disseminate good practices in the field of Quality Assurance”. The aims of CANQATE are compatible with those of INQAAHE. At the regional level, CANQATE will set up a framework for communication, and for academic, professional, and collegial support in quality assurance.
