The Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ) and the National Institution for Academic Degrees and Quality Enhancement of Higher Education (NIAD-QE) have renewed a Memorandum of Understanding on 3 March 2022, agreeing to cooperate further for the benefit of both parties.

Both agencies will exchange non-confidential information, including key policy documents and operational information, in particular provided by higher education institutions from Japan and Hong Kong; share experience related to programmes and recognition of qualification in higher education.

 

Dr Hideki Fukuda, president of NIAD-QE said he looked forward to collaborating with HKCAAVQ, especially in exchanging information and experience regarding quality assurance systems and practice under the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Mr Albert Chow, Executive Director of HKCAAVQ, shared that HKCAAVQ has embarked its journey on digital transformation. HKCAAVQ is also excited to share its experiences with NIAD-QE, and he wished the collaboration between the agencies could impact the Asia Pacific and beyond.
