According to ESG 3.4 “Agencies should regularly publish reports that describe and analyse the general findings of their external quality assurance activities. Guidelines: In the course of their work, agencies gain information on programmes and institutions that can be useful beyond the scope of a single process, providing material for structured analyses across the higher education system. These findings can contribute to the reflection on and the improvement of quality assurance policies and processes in institutional, national and international contexts. A thorough and careful analysis of this information will show developments, trends and areas of good practice or persistent difficulty."

The Agency has established a process for analyzing the External Committees’ Evaluation Reports, reflecting on them and publishing the main trends and quality indicators of higher education in Cyprus. One member of staff has been entrusted with the collection and initial analysis of the experts’ findings and recommendations. A second staff member is always used for inter-rate agreement.

A report of the initial findings will be presented at the end of each academic semester/year to the Council for reflection, further elaboration on the programs’ and institutions’ compliance with ESG, their differentiation in quality, and the achievement of the expected progress and compliance with the ESG.

The thematic analysis reports are published on the Agency’s website for institutions’ and other stakeholders’ reflections on difficulties and on positive trends.
