The International Association for Quality Assurance in Pre‑Tertiary and Higher Education (QAHE) is pleased to announce that our recent memorandum of understanding (MOU) activity has been featured on the Borkena Business Listing website. The article highlights QAHE’s signing of three important MOUs with international accreditation partners and is available at: https://businesslisting.borkena.com/qahe-signs-memorandum-of-understanding-with-international-accreditation-agencies/.

The Borkena feature describes QAHE’s new collaborative agreements with the Independent Accreditation and Rating Agency (IARC/NIARS) of the Kyrgyz Republic, Sapattuu Bilim (the Agency for Accreditation of Educational Organizations and Programs), and the Tamilnadu Council for Open and Distance Learning (TCODL) in India. These partnerships will promote reciprocal recognition, shared expertise, and joint initiatives to strengthen quality assurance, accreditation practice, and capacity building across regions.

QAHE welcomes this coverage and the opportunity it provides to raise awareness of our work in advancing international cooperation and standards in education. Each MOU is intended to support greater transparency, mutual learning, and improved quality assurance outcomes for institutions, learners, and stakeholders. In particular:

• The IARC/NIARS partnership supports collaboration with a licensed national accreditation body in the Kyrgyz Republic and opens avenues for joint initiatives and knowledge exchange.
• The Sapattuu Bilim MOU reflects cooperation with an agency active in international QA networks (including INQAAHE and APQN) and committed to regional quality development.
• The agreement with TCODL underscores QAHE’s interest in strengthening quality assurance for open and distance learning and expanding collaborative support within India’s evolving higher education environment.
