The International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE) is an International Quality Assurance body that works closely with National Accreditation bodies (Council for Higher Education Accreditation in USA, European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education in Europe, TEQSA in Australia) and academicians to control educational quality in around 140 countries. Established in 1991.
