Annual Report 2007–08

3 引 言 Introduction systems. ’ The QAC’s recognition of the quality of our teaching and learning was specifically spelt out in its 11 commendations. It also affirmed many measures formulated by the University for continuous self-improvement. I am pleased with the definitive recognition given to our commitment to quality education by the independent panel, and must thank all the members of the University who helped with the preparations for the audit exercise and presented our quality assurance measures and systems to the panel. Their travails have been judiciously rewarded.
