As part of the activities of the Quality Assurance Department at the Presidency of Wasit University, a meeting was held at the College of Science for quality assurance divisions and members of Standard Five, aimed at introducing the concept of institutional accreditation with a focus on the Student Standard and highlighting its academic and social dimensions.

The meeting emphasized that institutional accreditation serves as an official guarantee that an educational institution adheres to quality standards and academic excellence. Among the most significant standards is the Student Standard, which reflects the core of the educational process and positions students as the central focus of learning and academic achievement.

The Student Standard focuses on several key areas:

Quality of educational services and academic support provided to students to ensure a distinguished learning experience.

Diversity of student activities and participation opportunities, fostering the development of personal, social, and innovative skills.

Achievement of clear learning outcomes aligned with labor market requirements, ensuring the graduation of competent students capable of contributing effectively to society and both the local and global economy.

This meeting is part of the university’s efforts to strengthen a sustainable educational environment, focusing on enhancing teaching quality and equipping students with the knowledge and skills that support academic and professional sustainability.

The initiative aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:

SDG 4: Quality Education, by ensuring high-quality education and effective learning outcomes.

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, by preparing graduates qualified for the labor market and capable of contributing to sustainable economic development.

SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, indirectly, by producing graduates who can act as agents of positive social change.
