Abstract

This commentary highlights three major lessons based on the author's thirty-year experience in quality assurance: the necessity for a quality assurance/enhancement (QA/QE) framework to be context and mission-driven, focused in part on the capacity of the institutions to anticapte and adapt to a changing environment, and to ensure that the national objectives of QA/QE are realistic and fit for purpose.
