AUN-QA Network is established as the ASEAN quality assurance network in higher education with the responsibilities including promoting quality assurance in higher education institutions, raising the quality of higher education, and collaborating with both regional and international bodies for the benefit of the ASEAN community. The 5-year certification from AUN-QA is a significant mechanism in educational quality assurance as it formulates a common standard regionally and globally for member universities aiming to support student transfer or credit comparison, and strengthen the quality of higher education programs in the region. The certification is valid for 5 years, thus, the universities are allowed to adjust or improve the programs in accordance with the updated standards. #SEAP
