A series of SePADU and PeeRs(User Acceptance Test) workshops for campuses were successfully conducted as scheduled. The campuses were grouped into 4 zones : North, South, East Coast, and Sabah & Sarawak. The participants being very dynamic and hardworking,contributed to the success of the workshops. During the workshops, participants were trained to log their internal audit findings and give feedback on self review reporting process in SePADU and PeeRS (UAT) respectively. Participants are expected to train other auditors at their respective units and subsequently complete their audit  reports using SePADU. InQKA will continuously monitor PTJ’s  quality management system (QMS) via SePADU besides the normal audit procedure.

Electonic InQKA Questionnaire (e-IQ) is an online system, developed to replace the manual way of distributing and collecting AKNC survey. It is now open (starting from 2nd May to 16 December 2011) for 2011 AKNC assessment. Please visit http://e-iq.uitm.edu.my/ to participate.

In a pioneering move to provide a greater role and voice for students in the governance of the quality, UiTM has appointed the postgraduate and undergraduate student leaders to its Lembaga Kualiti. The Lembaga Kualiti was established recently as the apex body to deliberate on quality assurance issues and to provide directions and guidance on the quality assurance system for this university system. This development is in line with the Vice Chancellor, Dato Prof Dr. Ir. Sahol Hamid’s style of forming partnership with all stakeholders including the students in the march towards educational excellence. Prof Dr. Hazman Shah Abdullah (Asst. Vice-Chancellor (Quality) who mooted the idea argued that quality is not just the professional concern of the academics and university managers. Quality is and should be a matter of special interest to all students as they are the ultimate recipient and embodiment of the quality of education the university promises and provides. The efforts by Ministry of Higher Education and Malaysian Qualifications Agency are aimed, among others, to place the students or the learners at the centre of the education orbit. To make the change, students cannot be passive participants in the quality assurance system. It is not enough for them to provide feedback on their satisfaction with teaching and learning. They must be engaged directly and actively in shaping the quality system that assures high quality education for all students.
