In the present era of information technology, issues like quality, access for all, lifelong and continuous learning, incorporation of different sociocultural groups, worldwide competition and seeking of funding highlight the political and institutional educational strategies. The design of the policies and strategies require the cooperation of global associations, the state, foundations and different stakeholders. The evaluation of the quality of education is essential. However, the diversity of educational institutions makes it difficult to establish unified quality assurance processes. The purpose of this article is to propose a system for the evaluation of quality in higher educational institutions.
