Washington Accord
Principles of Good Practice for Washington Accord Signatories Working Internationally (Approved June 2001) Purpose: These principles are intended to provide a generally accepted framework for undertaking reviews in countries that are not signatories of the Washington Accord. They are intended to
strengthen the international stature of the Washington Accord Agreement, strengthen the working relationship among Washington Accord Signatories and international quality assurance agencies, and encourage and enhance ongoing cooperation and communication.
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Washington Accord
Principle 1. Considerations for Washington Accord Signatories When Determining to Undertake Quality Assurance Evaluations in Another Country not a member of the Accord Washington Accord Signatories will:
Affirm their organizational capacity to undertake a review (e.g., language, trained staff and evaluators, budget, experience, basic information about the country); Clarify the relationship of international review activity to the priorities of the accrediting organization;
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Washington Accord
Communicate with other Washington Accord signatories about international review activity; Promulgate a clear statement of the scope of the evaluation and the use of the recognition status by an institution or program in another country, especially with regard to transfer of credit and degree and qualifications equivalency; Assure clear understanding of the relationship of the review to any international agreements that address quality assurance.
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Washington Accord
Principle 2. Expectations for Conduct of Evaluation Reviews Abroad Washington Accord Signatories will:
Inform national quality assurance agencies in countries where reviews are undertaken and, where appropriate, seek information, guidance, and concurrence from these agencies; Communicate with rectors and other college and university officials at institutions where they are conducting reviews;
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Washington Accord
Assure that staff and evaluators are adequately informed about higher education and quality assurance in the countries in which they are conducting reviews to preclude the appearance of cultural insensitivity; Communicate fully and clearly about costs and currencies associated with a review.
Washington Accord
Principle 3. Quality Assurance of Online and Webbased Instruction and programs Washington Accord Signatories will:
Work as closely as possible with their institutional and programmatic exporters of online and web-based education to assure quality as offerings are made available in a variety of countries, especially when the offerings involve instructional strategies that are unfamiliar to the host country; Urge that these exporters review language, literacy and study skills levels of the target audience for these offerings, preparing separate or supplemental material to meet special needs if appropriate.
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Washington Accord
Principle 4. Responsibilities to Students and Colleagues Washington Accord Signatories will:
Work with the appropriate agencies in non-signatory countries to provide the most comprehensive and accurate information available about educational services and programs to avoid the export of diplomas of questionable quality offered for a fee; Develop, in coordination with international colleagues, the appropriate protocol to assist non-signatory countries in reviewing educational imports from questionable provenance.
