Abstract
The University of Zambia Quality Assurance Framework provides guidelines and mechanisms for
the promotion and enhancement of quality in all the functions of the University. The framework
also provides procedures for evaluation and monitoring of the performance of the University against
establishment institutional standards.
The Quality Assurance framework is designed to reflect:
(i) The vision and mission of the University;
(ii) The legal and institutional frameworks under which the University operates;
(iii) The governance and management structure of the University;
(iv) The main functions of the University, that is, teaching and learning, research and community
service;
(v) The collegial nature of the University; and
(vi) The University as a Community of scholars.
Quality Assurance is entirely the responsibility of the University. This responsibility is shared within
the University through the various management, academic and operational units. In this regard, all
University staff are expected to be familiar with the Quality Assurance Framework and to apply the
processes, practices and maintain and enhance the standards contained therein. It is hoped that through
this common and shared responsibility, a quality culture will develop, be nurtured and sustained in the
University
