training (content of programmes, curricula, assessment and validation of learning outcomes, etc.) meet the quality requirements expected by stakeholders.

• QA contributes to better matching of education and training supply and demand;
• QA covers the macro-level (educational system level), meso-level (level of individual educational institutions) and micro-level (level of teaching-learning processes).
