If something elapsing its quality is meant to ending its existence from the world gradually. The idea of quality education is challenged and comprehended from numerous aspects. During the past decade, the number ofhighereducationinstitutions(HEIs) in Pakistan hasincreased and the need for quality education is increased. Keeping in view the needs of the societythe alarming question is the quality improvement of these HEIs. In the long run, the quality of education depends upon the teachers’ qualities who are serving as nation builders in the system. The Higher Education Commission (HEC) is working as a regulator of Degree Awarding Institutions (DAIs) in Pakistan. All regulated &accredited DAIs by HEC Pakistan are evaluating, improving and sustaining their quality through internal quality body Quality Enhancement Cells (QECs).All universities sustaining their internal quality through the operationalized mechanism of QEC are structured by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). The leading aim of the existing paper was to analyze the content concerning the quality assurance process of Higher Education (HE) in Pakistan. This study was conducted under the interpretive paradigm and evaluative content analysis was applied. The selected document was Self-assessment Manual used by Quality Enhancement Cells for the quality assurance of DAIs in Pakistan. Through thematic analysis, seven themes (Curriculum, Facilities, Labs, Students support, Faculty, Institutional support & Process control) were noted. Furthermore, it was assessed the QEC manual, mechanism and all its performance are measuring the quality of all disciplines with the same brush. By hanging all quality keys at the same grid (Manual), Teacher Education Programs (TEPs) are indirectly sustained in the standings of quality improvement in Pakistan. It was concluded that quality means meeting the predetermined standards and noted six themes during qualitative analysis was based on the Self-Assessment Manual used by QECs in DAIsin Pakistan.  \nKeywords: Quality education, quality enhancement cell, teacher education, standards and manual for self-assessment.  \n*PhD.

The chief wealth of a country is concealed in the quality of its human capital and this quality or excellence in people is guaranteed through a quality education system. (Sallis, 2014) . Therefore, to sustain the quality of our products is the guarantee of our existence. Beyond all paradigmatic conflicts in social science research quality is an evolving debate. No doubt total quality management (TQM), zero defect and other quality assurance techniques are hard to implement in social sciences researches(Sallis, 2014) but in terms of system, quality assurance approaches may be implemented to advance and sustain the quality of the system or for quality assurance (Hill, Lomas, & MacGregor, 2003) . As per conventional wisdom, it’s a well-known proverb “teachers are nation builders” and the teaching profession is a dynamic profession. Teacher education (TE) plays a decisive (Aziz, Akhtar, & Rauf, 2012) and critical role in nation-building. The reforms in the education leverage reform in the TE system in Pakistan.  \nBy standards and quality, “Teaching as a Profession” has constantly been considered a controversial subject (Abiodul","cbCaivfULOG0S21C","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivfULOG0S21C","pdf",791361,18,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Quality assurance and quality education\n## Role of teacher education in nation building\n## Standards, teaching as a profession, and policy context\n## Quality assurance agency mission and international frameworks","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the paper?\",\"answer\":\"To analyze the content related to the quality assurance process of higher education in Pakistan using the Self-Assessment Manual employed by QECs.\"},{\"question\":\"Which themes are identified through thematic analysis?\",\"answer\":\"Seven themes are noted: curriculum, facilities, labs, student support, faculty, institutional support, and process control.\"},{\"question\":\"What concern does the study raise about the QEC manual and its assessment approach?\",\"answer\":\"It assesses whether the manual and mechanism evaluate all disciplines using the same set of performance measures, potentially treating different disciplines with a uniform approach.\"}]","Quality Enhancement Cell and Quality Standards in Pakistan - Document Analysis of the Manual for Self-Assessment | PDF",1792082495,45]
