The International Joint Accreditation Standards (iJAS) is a cross-border quality assurance framework invented in collaboration among the Office for National Education Standards and Quality Assessment (ONESQA), Thailand, the Japan University Accreditation Association (JUAA), Japan, and the Taiwan Assessment and Evaluation Association (TWAEA), Taiwan,
aiming to contribute to the promotion of internationalization of higher education institutions (HEIs) in the Asian region.
The key purposes of the iJAS are to actively support the quality enhancement of HEIs in order to improve the learning outcomes of students studying in each country and provide a robust platform to further progress toward the next global era. The distinctive feature of the iJAS is that the assessment focusses on a university’s internal quality assurance system. For the time being, the standard of preservation of Thai arts and culture has been fitfully consolidated into this international standardized evaluation criterion as being the iJAS Plus framework in accord with the Ministerial Ordinance on Higher Education Standards 2022 imposed by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and innovation (MHESI), Thailand. This is because ONESQA recognizes the preservation, continuation, and dissemination of Thai arts and culture according to the expertise and identity of HEIs. Voluntarily, the iJAS plus is another option for Thai HEIs to apply for external quality assessment with international equivalent.
