In our ongoing efforts to ensure the sustainability and growth of QAHE, we have carefully assessed our operational expenses, expansion plans, and endeavors to gain recognition. Considering these factors, we have determined that an adjustment of 5% to 10% in the annual accreditation fees will be necessary for the year 2024.

We would like to assure you that this adjustment is essential to support our operations, expand our reach, and continue our efforts to obtain recognition from relevant quality assurance agencies and national bodies worldwide. It will enable us to enhance the level of service we provide and maintain the global standard of higher education.
