The quality system support service in higher education institutions is considered one of the main pillars for achieving academic and administrative excellence. This service aims to build an integrated quality system in universities and colleges, which helps improve institutional performance and enhance competitiveness. The quality system is designed based on national and regional needs and priorities, to ensure that the performance of educational institutions is consistent with the requirements of the local and international community. A comprehensive assessment of the current quality system within the educational institution begins, including a review of the policies and procedures followed to ensure academic and administrative quality. This includes reviewing the performance of academic and administrative departments, evaluating academic accreditation processes, and analyzing quality indicators. After the assessment, an integrated quality management system is designed and developed that can be relied upon to improve performance. This system includes setting standards for academic quality, developing mechanisms for continuous monitoring and evaluation of educational and administrative performance, and ensuring the institution’s commitment to international best practices. The quality system is built in line with the needs of the local and regional community. National and regional priorities in the fields of higher education are analyzed and applied in institutional quality improvement plans. This includes aligning academic curricula with labor market requirements, and promoting scientific research to serve national and regional issues.
