The Quality Assurance:
In Canada, education, including higher education, is a constitutional jurisdiction of the ten provinces and three territories. At present, universities are present only in the provinces, and the power to grant degrees conferred on them by provincial legislation.
All Canadian universities are autonomous in education and establish their own policies and mechanisms for quality assurance. In addition, because of their long-standing commitment to achieve common interprovincial standards, Canadian universities agree to recognize the value of their respective titles.The adoption of policies and strong internal mechanisms is the cornerstone of a Canadian model of quality assurance in higher education.
These policies can be independent or be based on laws. They can be applied in an environment that includes other levels of quality assurance, as in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI -Prince Edward Island, where the higher education systems come with a second level of quality assurance.For some programs, standards of professional accreditation in addition to political institutions.
