Academic Quality Enhancement Directorate
I congratulate all of you
and want to say welcome to Directorate of Academic Quality Enhancement (AQED) of
Wolaita Sodo University which is accountable to Vice President of
Academic Affairs in which the university has given due attention and mandate to
accomplish internal system of quality enhancement by applying clear and
comprehensive measures of quality of education covering quality of learning
infrastructure, professional development of academic staff, course contents,
teaching-learning processes, student evaluation, assessment and grading
systems. The directorate realizes the educational quality of the university in
promoting and maintaining continuous quality improvement and auditing via
standards of services delivered and graduates produced.
The directorate was established in 2020 from the former IQEAD (Institutional Quality Enhancement and Assurance Directorate) with the rationale of higher education to prepare sufficient knowledgeable, skilled, and attitudinally mature graduates in relevant disciplines with competence, to promote and enhance research focusing on knowledge and technology transfer consistent with the country’s priority needs; and establish a system to create and enhance institutions as Centre of Excellence.
