When I established the Arab Organization for Quality Assurance in Education (AROQA) in 2007, my ambition was to change the society's perspective of the quality of education, as I felt sorry when I heard callings for "education for all", which education!!! as we do not give quality & fair education, the education must be focus on quality more than quantity, otherwise we will be wasting our time and the time of the learners, therefore I was keen to move towards the slogan “quality education for all”, meaning that the quality of education is the goal and not just traditional education.
It pains when I find educational institutions that provide their educational activities and services without paying attention to quality control and not clearly defining goals or not commitment to, which leads to the provision of random education.
I am pleased to say that AROQA is proud of its achievements, as it came to spread the culture of quality in educational communities and to provide a clear framework for achieving quality by granting accreditation in accordance with national and international quality standards.
To wrap up this message "We are looking to transfer from teaching to learning, for the purpose of innovation."
