Inquire About SubmissionA National Platform for Quality Assurance
The Pakistan Network of Quality Assurance in Higher Education (PNQAHE) was launched during the 1st International Conference on Quality Assurance in Higher Education on December 18–19, 2017, organized by Khyber Medical University (KMU), Peshawar. KMU's Quality Enhancement Cell proposed PNQAHE as a platform for Quality Enhancement Cells (QECs) across 250 Pakistani universities. The proposal was accepted by national and international participants, who were then nominated as full PNQAHE members.
An interim committee facilitated the voting process for the network's executive committee, formed on September 27, 2018. PNQAHE has since united quality assurance professionals across Pakistan — hosting subsequent international conferences at the University of Lahore and Shah Abdul Latif University, Khairpur.
