A UNIFIED MODEL OF QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM FOR ISO-CERTIFIED HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop a unified model of quality assurance system for ISO-certified higher education institutions, by integrating Accreditation of The BAN-PT and ISO 9001:2008. BAN-PT is National Accreditation Board of Higher Education in Indonesia has a standard for quality academic process improvement for higher education institutions. ISO 9001 is a standard for quality management systems. There are two issues need to be resolved when an ISO-certified higher education institutions implement Accreditation of BAN-PT. First, it is not easy to identify reusable ISO clauses and requirements when applying for BAN-PT accreditation. Second, it is difficult for ISO-certified higher education institutions to implement BAN-PT Accreditation directly, due to the differences in language, structure, and detail of these two sets of documents. The results of this study, we present a unified model that solves these two problems and can support to implement the BAN-PT Accreditation.
