Arab Organization for Quality Assurance in Education in Jordan

The European Council of Leading Business Schools (ECLBS) and the Arab Organization for Quality Assurance in Education (AROQA) have officially signed a strategic dual accreditation partnership agreement, marking a significant milestone in advancing international standards in business and higher education.

Established under the leadership of the League of Arab States and headquartered in Amman, Jordan, AROQA plays a pivotal role in shaping the quality landscape of education across the Arab world. The organization is dedicated to promoting a culture of excellence in education, supporting accreditation processes, and fostering the continuous development of quality assurance frameworks in Arab institutions.

Through this agreement, ECLBS not only aligns itself with one of the most influential regional quality assurance bodies but also reinforces its commitment to fostering collaboration between European and Arab academic institutions. The partnership facilitates the mutual recognition of quality standards, supports the development of joint academic programs, and encourages knowledge exchange across borders.

By working with AROQA—a recognized authority in educational quality and policy in Jordan and the broader Arab region—ECLBS takes a concrete step toward global academic integration, ensuring that its member institutions are positioned to meet both regional expectations and international best practices.

This strategic alliance underscores the shared vision of ECLBS and AROQA: to elevate the quality and credibility of higher education through collaborative, cross-regional partnerships.
