Message from
The United Nations Educational Scientific Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is currently the only United Nations agency with a mandate on Higher Education. In a thrust to support the realisation of the Education for All (EFA) Goals, UNESCO recognises that higher education must be a key priority. Quality assurance and the maintenance of reputable and equitable higher education monitoring systems are integral to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Those groups which are at risk or disadvantaged must have sustainable inclusion policies that allow for access to higher education within all countries.
UNESCO would like to congratulate the University Council of Jamaica (UCJ) on their 11th Annual Quality Assurance in Tertiary Education Week as we pledge to work continuously towards the achievement of world class higher education principles.
