In the context of the sustained growth and diversification of higher education systems, society’s concerns about the quality of the education offered to the students are increasing. The goal of the OECD-IMHE study on Quality teaching is to highlight effective quality initiatives and mechanisms and to push forward reflection or practices that may in turn help other institutions to improve the quality of their teaching and thereby, the quality of their graduates. In participating in the project, the institutions take part in an international review that collects information and benchmarks for their own purpose regarding the quality of their teaching.
