We not only publish the results in national newspapers, but also provide data to each institution of higher education, where they are based on each criterion, and they make changes to their strategic plans, said Sholpan Kalanova, President of Independent Agency for Quality Assurance in Education.
One of the trends is to increase universities’ social responsibility in ranking. Therefore, in 2020, the agency plans to change the methodology. Several indicators will be introduced that will demonstrate universities’ social activity including social networks, web pages, and Wikipedia.
- Already three global rankings have begun to put indicators on universities’ social responsibility. In addition, according to the results of these ratings, it was concluded that social responsibility indicator improves or increases university influence on local development and graduates related to society growth and university influence through digital technologies, Kalanova informed.
