What is the role of the NCHE, NQA and Namibia Training Authority (NTA) in terms of quality assurance?

All three are external quality assurance agencies. However, the main differences in the roles of these bodies are:

  • The NCHE is responsible for quality assurance in higher education (HE).
  • The NQA is mainly responsible for administering the NQF, but it is also responsible for accrediting persons, institutions and organizations providing education and courses of instruction or training.
  • The NTA is responsible for quality assurance in Vocational Education and Training (VET).
