Quality in the higher education sector: comparison of communication of criteria for quality assurance in webpages of state universities in Lithuania and Latvia
ENRecently, researches in the quality of higher education institutions highlighted links between quality issues with the expression of dynamics and changes in higher education institutions. Studies in higher education institutions focus on changes in the external environment, increasing pressure on higher education institutions and a change in the concept of quality as a response to the requirements and expectations of stakeholders. The importance of quality as an idea for the activities of higher education institution is assessed through the formulation and implementation of key performance indicators and quality criteria in a higher education institution. Theoretical and empirical research presented in the article demonstrates that the statements on quality that are formulated in strategic documents of state universities correlate with the understanding of quality presented in documents regulating activities of higher education institutions, reflect the spirit of international documents regulating study policies and are consistent with relevant state documents defining the requirements for the activities and quality of higher education institutions.
