Organizational Structure

  

About the Logo of HEEACT

  • The shape of HEEACT’s logo is an upward triangular arrow accompanied by two squares in contrast to represent the interrelationship of Yin and Yang complementing each other. It symbolizes the true spirit of accreditation, which emphasizes the discernment and integrity. To advocate the mission of educational accreditation, the logo is in blue to signify its characteristics of rationality, integrity, objectivity and spirit of scientific inquiry.
  • The logo of HEEACT is transformed from the traditional Chinese character—“高(gāo)” because of its visual and meaning. Since Chinese is a pictogram, the charactergāo” means “high” as if the accreditation for higher education leads all colleges and universities pursuing the excellence towards the summit.
