Abstract

Quality assurance is defined as a component of quality management that focuses on providing confidence that quality requirements are being fulfilled. Quality assurance is also important for other related activities, including knowledge production, job market preparation for students, and evaluating the alignment of academic programs with societal needs and challenges. The purpose of the present study was to examine the impact of quality assurance on students’ academic achievement. The study population consisted of 367 students from the Faculty of Social Sciences at Jawzjan University. Using Cochran’s formula, a sample size of 188 students was determined, and participants were selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using the Higher Education Service Quality Questionnaire and the Academic Achievement Questionnaire developed by FAM and Taylor (1994). The completed questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The findings revealed that quality assurance had a 63% relationship with students’ academic achievement. Furthermore, quality assurance significantly influenced academic achievement, with a regression coefficient of 0.49. Overall, the results indicate that quality assurance can be considered one of the key factors contributing to academic achievement in higher education institutions.
