Article Title: Beyond Compliance In The Implementation Of Quality Assurance In The Ghanaian Higher Education: What Next
by Iwalaiye Elizabeth Mayokun (Ph.D) & Arowolo Jacob Gbemiga (Ph.D)

Abstract:
This paper examines how quality assurance (QA) is viewed, implemented and practiced in higher education sector in Ghana. It discusses and provides an up-to-date overview of the QA systems, procedures and mechanisms that are employed by the external quality assurance agency (EQAA) and the institutions to improve the quality of education provided and identifies challenges faced in implementing recommendations made by the 1991 educational reforms in relation to the quality of higher education and QA regime in Ghana. Desk data that involves analyzing information that already exists was employed. The paper also reviewed existing literature on initiatives and approaches made by higher education institutions to address A practices (systems, policy and strategy) at the international level. Finally, based on the conclusions and lessons drawn from these analyses, the paper proposes for government, policy makers, the National Accreditation Board and the institutions some actions that should be taken to strengthen the internal quality assurance (IQA) structures that will contribute to efficient and effective quality enhancement within higher institutions in Ghana .
