Background and objective: Nursing education throughout the world is striving for international competitiveness and accountability for effectiveness, quality, and trust to the students, patients, and the community, thus making the issue of institutional accreditation increasingly important. The aim of this paper was to explore the perceptions of heads of private nursing institutions on the benefits of school accreditation by nursing education and training quality assurance (ETQA) in KwaZulu-Natal region, South Africa.Methods: The study adopted a qualitative approach. Data were collected from seven heads of private nursing institutions. In-depth interviews were used to explore the perceived benefits of the accreditation of nursing institutions by Nursing ETQA. Thematic content analysis was used in this study to analyse the collected data. The study adhered to all ethical principles.Results: The findings from this study revealed that heads of private nursing institutions perceived the accreditation by nursing ETQA as a tool used to promote quality outcomes in nursing education. Results from this study further revealed that accreditation is a mechanism of ensuring high standards of performance, and it increases trust, confidence, and reinforcement of uniformity across the nursing education sector. In this study, several challenges were reported to hinder the accreditation process including as a disjoint and an inconsistent process of accreditation, unclear criteria for accreditation, the high cost of accreditation, accreditation being detrimental to teaching the outcome, lack of uniformity in the recommendations; and a lengthy process of accreditation.Conclusions: Accreditation is an important tool to ensure that programs and degrees meet the highest standards of education. In nursing education, the accreditation process is associated with several challenges, and there is a need for collaborative and well-coordinated accreditation of nursing schools nationally and globally.

COPHELA (Cooperation in Quality Assurance for Pharmacy Education and Training between Europe and Latin America), a collaborative project between the European Union (EU) and Latin America, will produce on-line courses for the master degree in pharmacy. The program runs from 2019 through 2021. It is funded by the Erasmus+ program of the Education, Audio-visual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) of the European Commission. The partners are EU and Latin American universities. These are accompanied by associated partners from EU and Latin American universities, as well as from governmental and non-governmental organizations, such as pharmacy chambers and educational associations. The project is coordinated by the University of Granada, Spain (first author of this paper). It will produce distance learning master degree courses in a dozen fields of specialized pharmaceutical science education and practice, ranging from patient care to industrial pharmacy. This paper describes the design of the project and is intended to evoke constructive comments. It also represents a call for the recruitment of additional associated partners.

AbstractThe Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is a framework for scaling agile methods in large organizations. We have found several experience reports and white papers describing SAFe adoptions in different banks, which indicates that SAFe is being used in the banking industry. However, there is a lack of academic publications on the topic, the banking industry is missing in the scientific reports analyzing SAFe transformations. To fill this gap, we present a study on the main challenges with a SAFe transformation at a large full-service bank. We identify the challenges in the bank under study and compare the findings with experience reports from other banks, as well as with research on SAFe transformations in other domains. Many of the challenges reported in this paper overlap with the generic SAFe challenges, including management and organization, education and training, culture and mindset, requirements engineering, quality assurance, and systems architecture. However, we also report some novel challenges specific to the banking domain, e.g., the risk of jeopardizing customer relations, stability, and trust of external stakeholders. This study validates several SAFe-related challenges reported in previous work in the banking context. It also brings up some novel challenges specific to the banking industry. Therefore, we believe our results are particularly useful to practitioners responsible for SAFe transformations at other banks.

The implementation of ASN competency development is closely related to the quality of education and training provided by the Educational Institution (Lemdik). The National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA) as the agency assigned the task of fostering the implementation of education and training for ASN employees has conducted quality assurance to ensure the implementation quality of the education and training. Even though quality assurance has been carried out routinely, training problems still arise. This study aims to analyze the implementation of accreditation as a quality assurance process carried out by Educational Institutions. This research was conducted using qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques through document review, FGDs, and in-depth interviews. The results of the study showed that the implementation of accreditation has not been able to portray aspects of leadership and organizational commitment as part of quality assurance. The results of the study found that the fulfillment of data and information in the implementation of accreditation had not been carried out routinely. From these findings, the results of the study recommended that the quality assurance process must be viewed from the management cycle. Besides, there also needs an improvement in data and information management systems. Keywords: State Civil Apparatus (ASN), Quality Management, Accreditation, Competency Development Abstrak Pelaksanaan pengembangan kompetensi ASN berkaitan erat dengan kualitas penyelenggaraan diklat yang diberikan oleh Lembaga Pendidikan (Lemdik). Lembaga Administrasi Negara (LAN) sebagai instansi yang diberikan tugas dalam membina pelaksanaan pendidikan dan pelatihan pegawai ASN telah melakukan penjaminan mutu untuk menjamin kualitas penyelenggaraan diklat. Meskipun penjaminan mutu telah dilaksanakan secara rutin, tetapi permasalahan diklat masih sering muncul. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pelaksanaan akreditasi sebagai proses penjaminan mutu yang dilakukan oleh lemdik. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui telaah dokumen dengan memanfaatkan berbagai dokumen terkait proses akreditasi tahun 2019, FGD, dan wawancara mendalam. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan akreditasi belum mampu memotret aspek kepemimpinan dan juga komitmen organisasi sebagai bagian dari penyelenggaraan penjaminan mutu. Hasil kajian menemukan pemenuhan data dan informasi dalam pelaksanaan akreditasi belum dilakukan secara rutin sehingga menyebabkan data dan informasi yang diberikan cenderung disiapkan hanya untuk keperluan akreditasi. Dari dua temuan ini, hasil kajian merekomendasikan bahwa proses penjaminan kualitas harus dilihat dari siklus manajemen, serta perlu penambahan data dan informasi yang mencerminkan aspek kepemimpinan, integritas dan komitmen pegawai. Selain itu, perlu ada perbaikan sistem pengelolaan data dan informasi untuk menjamin bahwa data yang diunggah benar-benar mencerminkan aktivitas dan penjaminan kualitas di setiap tahapan.
