CECA adopts a reference framework to integrate equality, diversity, inclusion and non-discrimination into the Agency’s evaluation, certification and accreditation activities
The Evaluation, Certification and Accreditation Commission (CECA) of ACPUA, at its meeting held on 28 September 2026, approved the Framework for the Integration of Equality and Diversity Perspectives into Higher Education Quality Assurance.
The framework establishes common criteria and guidelines for considering equality, diversity, inclusion and non-discrimination in the evaluation, certification and accreditation activities carried out by the Agency, in accordance with the current regulatory framework and the principles underpinning quality assurance in higher education.
Its purpose is to provide a common reference for the application of these principles across ACPUA’s different programmes, promoting a consistent and coherent approach in the evaluation of degree programmes, university centres and internal quality assurance systems.
As a consequence of its approval, CECA has also agreed to update several ACPUA evaluation, certification and accreditation programmes and protocols in order to incorporate these guidelines consistently across all the Agency’s activities.
The latest versions of the programmes and protocols can be found on the ACPUA website under the relevant sections.
