Accreditation in Higher Education in Cambodia
The Accreditation Committee of Cambodia (ACC) was established by the Royal Decree on Accreditation of Higher Education (Royal Decree NS/RKT/0303/129, dated 31 March 2003). ACC is a public and autonomous quality assurance agency and has its clearly mandated mission, which is to form the first step towards building a culture of quality in higher education in Cambodia, and then to change the landscape of higher education quality. As stated in the above-mentioned Royal Decree, accreditation is compulsory to both public and private higher education institutions in Cambodia. "All HEIs which grant degrees in the Kingdom of Cambodia are subject to the accreditation of higher education. In order to obtain such accreditation status, each academic institution is subject to the evaluation of its management system, academic quality and curriculum. Only accredited higher education institutions may be entitled to issue the certificate of bachelors, Masters and PhD."
