Procedures outcomes28.12.20
In December 2020 AKKORK agency successfully completed a number of quality assurance projects as part of professional and public and international accreditation procedures of educational programs in higher education institutions of the Russian Federation and neighboring countries.
This has been a special year, with changes in all areas of life, and education has been one of the areas most affected by the pandemic. The switch to an online format has been a forced measure, both for the educational process and for quality assurance procedures. This year all visits to HEIs AKKORK conducted online. The evaluation procedure, well-established by many years of experience, enabled, thanks to thorough preliminary preparation and a developed organization mechanism, to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of higher education institutions both at the program and institutional levels in an online format.

This year also witnessed the continuation of the long-standing international cooperation between AKKORK and foreign agencies.
