AIKA directions for strategic development 2024. – 2028

Agency’s directions for strategic development 2024. – 2028. were defined based on the achievements in the previous reporting period and the identified needs for further improvement. In defining the strategic directions, also the feedback from cooperation partners and Agency staff on the Agency’s activities in the previous reporting period was considered

The strategic directions for AIKA for the period 2024. – 2028. are:

• PUBLIC AWARENESS – promote the visibility of the Agency in Latvia by informing the public about its achievements and current events related to quality assurance;
• ENSURING QUALITY – promote continuous improvement of the quality of higher education and development by implementing quality assurance procedures and organizing informative events for representatives in the field of higher education;
• POLICY MAKING – to be more actively involved in the national higher education/quality assurance policy-making processes, in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science and other involved parties;
• PERFORMANCE OF THE AGENCY – to ensure the performance of the Agency on a level appropriate to the implementation of its mission, by increasing the efficiency of internal processes;
• INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION – to develop international cooperation that would promote the quality of Latvian higher education, the recognition of the Agency and the exchange of experience in the European higher education area.

Head of the Agency Jolanta Silka highlights that the strategic directions for development are oriented both towards improving the Agency’s internal processes and strengthening the international recognition of the Agency. Compared to the previous strategy which was mostly focused on establishing the Agency and outlining all major areas of operation, the strategy for the period 2024. – 2028 is more focused on targeted development in areas with the highest potential for further development.
