The Higher Education Evaluation and Accreditation Council of Taiwan (HEEACT) has been once again recognized as fully compliant with all six International Standards and Guidelines (ISGs) by the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE). With this recognition, HEEACT becomes the first and only quality assurance agency in Asia to achieve full alignment with the ISGs.

This achievement builds on HEEACT’s earlier success: in 2020, HEEACT became fully compliant with the INQAAHE Guidelines of Good Practice (GGP). Sustaining that recognition for five years and now advancing to full ISG alignment demonstrates HEEACT’s longstanding commitment to international best practices and its continued evolution as a trusted guardian of higher education quality.

HEEACT expresses its deepest gratitude to the distinguished Review Panel members:

• Dr. Rolf Heusser, Former Director of the Swiss Accreditation Agency, Switzerland
• Dr. Eddy Chong Siong Choy, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Business and Law at Taylor’s University, Malaysia
• Dr. Helmuth Trefftz, Professor of Computer Science at EAFIT University in Medellín, Colombia

Looking ahead, HEEACT will focus on deepening stakeholder partnerships, advancing digital innovation in quality assurance, and expanding Taiwan’s higher education presence globally.
