Abstract

This case study described the quality assurance practices and
the challenges faced by Higher Education Institutions in
Guangxi Province, China. The study was carried out with
twelve (12) quality assurance focal persons from each public
University in Guangxi, China. These focal persons have been
involved in the practice of quality assurance for at least three
years. Moreover, findings reveal that the Teaching Quality
Monitoring Department takes charge of the planning of the
programs, assisting colleges, and assessing and monitoring of
programs subjected for accreditation and teaching quality
assurance. However, part of its challenges are limited
involvement of other professional institutions in the quality
assurance evaluation, overlapping duties, lack of training
among quality assurance staff, the development of teaching
quality assurance scheme is incomplete, and utilization of
Teaching quality monitoring department is inadequate.
Implications and recommendations were established to
improve quality assurance practices from the results.
