Abstract
The perspective of accreditation and quality enhancement in terms of collaborative practices framed the best model of quality assurance. Accreditation and quality enhancement cells are the main approaches of quality assurance mechanism. This study described the accreditation and quality enhancement dynamics towards programs quality and development of graduate attributes. This study adopted qualitative research methodology. The sample of this study comprised of 3 members NACTE, 3 members of PEC, and 21 directors of QECs. This research employed qualitative research approach, using semi-structured interviews as data collection instrument. Findings of this study explored that NACTE, PEC, and QECs plays limited roles to assure quality of faculty, quality of curriculum, bridging skills gap, development of graduate attributes, and eliminating conflict of interest, academic corruption, and political interferences in higher education. These lacks increase the challenges of NACTE, PEC and QECs to assure program quality in terms of responding towards working world. This study proposed that direct links of accreditation and QECs practices make them more effective divisions of quality assurance mechanism to assure program quality and graduate attributes.
