“…Stella states that national frameworks for quality assurance of cross-border education are not well developed [2], though Murray argues that for Australia a sophisticated framework for monitoring of cross-border higher education exists [26]. Bolton argues that existing quality assurance frameworks often do not allow accommodation of manageable risks associated with innovation, flexibility and experimentation in new market places, discussing a partnership between Australia and China [27]. Billing sees especially in Europe a ‘general’ model of quality assurance developing [28].…”

Introduction: Transnational or cross-border higher education has rapidly expanded since the 1980s. Together with that expansion issues on quality assurance came to the forefront. This article aims to identify key issues regarding quality assurance of transnational higher education and discusses the quality assurance of the tropEd Network for International Health in Higher Education in relation to these key issues. Methods: Literature review and review of documents.Results: From the literature the following key issues regarding transnational quality assurance were identified and explored: comparability of quality assurance frameworks, true collaboration versus erosion of national education sovereignty, accreditation agencies and transparency. The tropEd network developed a transnational quality assurance framework for the network. The network accredits modules through a rigorous process which has been accepted by major stakeholders. This process was a participatory learning process and at the same time the process worked positive for the relations between the institutions.Discussion: The development of the quality assurance framework and the process provides a potential example for others.

“…This is because the prospective approach focuses on eliminating problems before they occur by reflecting on the different student presage factors. In this context, the prospective approach can be considered as the best way to combine the fulfilment of the educational and service quality standards required by TNE exporting countries, with the desired contextualisation which is currently absent in TNE (Bolton and Nie 2010;Farrugia 2012).…”

The aim of this paper is to develop a model that addresses and bridges the gap between quality management and student experience. The model incorporates the most commonly occurring systems, namely: quality control; quality assurance; quality audit; quality assessment; quality enhancement; and quality management. The paper highlights the key elements of these approaches and constructs a model that provides a more comprehensive tool for accurately implementing and measuring quality in international higher education. The model, as a proposed conceptual framework, can be used by managers in Transnational Education (TNE), both at home and host institutions, to facilitate improvements in the TNE student experience while at the same time meet wider institutional objectives about educational quality.

“…There are different stakeholders such as students, parents, employers, and the government, and all of them have different perceptions on the performance of higher education (Arjomandi et al, 2009). The meaning of university extends beyond simply preparing the workforce for the business environment (Bolton & Nie, 2010). Developing and maintaining better performance in universities can result in the improvement of public and private sectors (Bloom et al, 2006).…”

Performance measurement is a process of comparing what transpired with what was planned. Performance measurement assists users to know where they are making progress, where they are slowing down and where they are moving. Due to increasing global competition, both public and private institutions regularly measure their performance levels based on organisational vision and mission. While there are established models to measure performance of universities in developed and developing countries, no such model exist for the universities belonging to fragile countries. This article aims at developing a model based upon AHP to measure performance of universities in fragile countries.
