Universities are not only centers of learning, but knowledge creation and are involved in the transfer
of this knowledge to society. The quality of this knowledge and the process by which this occurs must
be practiced so that academic standards are maintained and continuously improved. This is the core
responsibility of the Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC) at Abbottabad University and QEC is working to
set the highest standards established by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan.
In order to maintain a desired level of quality in higher education, every level of the education process
must be examined. This includes the teaching methodology, the mechanism of lecture delivery,
curriculum design and the assessment procedures adopted. The QEC is working with the academic
departments and administration so that a uniformity of quality is being established throughout the
university.
