Abstract

This article reports on implementing an efficient quality assurance system in higher education in Côte d'Ivoire: Lessons learned from the quality assurance system in higher education in China. The quality assurance system in higher education is an important element in ensuring the quality of education. In this era of globalization, Cote d'Ivoire is part of a process of improving the quality of education with the aim of making it much more competitive. The introduction of quality assurance has emerged very recently in the education system, and much effort remains to be made to make it functional and efficient. The analysis of the results indicated that the quality assurance system in higher education in China is effective, and many implementation procedures are applied there. This is possible thanks to the presence of a strong policy, careful monitoring and other equally important factors. China's experience in quality assurance is an example of Cote d'Ivoire, which is still trying to implement a functional quality assurance system to provide quality education. Therefore, this study recommends that the Ivorian government establish an efficient quality assurance system and ensure the implementation of the decisions taken.
