The Ministry of Education and Training is seeking comments on the draft Circular amending Circular No. 04/2016/TT-BGDDT dated March 14, 2016 on accreditation of university and college training programs (Circular 04) and replacing related Circulars.
The quality assessment standards issued with Circular 04 are based on the training program assessment standards version 3.0 of the Quality Assurance Organization of the Southeast AsianUniversity Network (AUNQA).
