Presenting a Two-way Grid for Assessment of Quality Assurance in Higher Education

Abstract

The literature in education is replete with instances of poor standards at the various levels of education in the Nigerian experience, and indeed in the other developing economies.  But the literature is almost mute about instances of search for lines of empirical evidence which could converge to attest to poor educational standards.  A problem identified in this study is lack of instruments for procuring such empirical evidence.   This problem is addressed in part by providing a two-way grid for assessment of quality assurance in higher education.  It is recommended that psychometric integrity of this instrument be investigated by further studies.

Keywords: Higher education, quality assurance, qualitative education.
