ABSTRACT

As a globally renowned leader in higher education, the Dutch higher education quality guarantee system has not only gained high recognition for its unique and comprehensive advantages, but also continuously revised and improved itself, becoming a benchmark for the quality guarantee system in higher education institutions in Europe and the world. Through the discussion in this article, it can be understood that the quality guarantee system of higher education in the Netherlands has gone through the early stages of full government responsibility, the mid-term establishment of internal guarantee departments within universities to be responsible for quality supervision, and finally the establishment of an independent external guarantee system. A three-in-one meta evaluation system is formed through external guarantee, internal guarantee, and government supervision. The government, schools, and external evaluation agencies complement each other, supervise each other, and improve the quality guarantee system of higher education in the Netherlands. The success of this system not only has great reference significance for the quality guarantee system of higher education in China, which is still in the exploratory stage, but can also be partially applied to the quality guarantee system in China universities.
