Abstract
The paper presents various approaches adopted by higher education institutions regarding the question of education quality. Also, it presents the discussion over the issue in academic circles and research directions concerning quality assessment criteria. In addition, the Authoress utilizes the results of the questionnaire survey, covering all higher education institutions supervised by the Ministry of National Education, medical academies and non-state higher education institutions. The collected data indicate growing interest in the question of higher education quality assessment. If such system of external assessment is to be established, special attention should be paid to the project concerning the state level education quality monitoring system. In particular, the rationality, legal basis, targets, and methods of the eventual external assessment system need to be reviewed.
