JTEC assists institutions in identifying and accessing training resources to enhance their development, building the internal capacity needed to consistently meet and exceed quality standards.
We receive and investigate complaints against institutions, ensuring standards are upheld and that students and stakeholders have a formal channel for raising concerns about tertiary education quality.
Our team aids institutions in identifying funding opportunities and provides proposal development support, strengthening their capacity to secure resources for growth and quality improvement.
The Standards utilised by JTEC communicate the criteria, quality elements, and areas of focus to guide the provision of higher education within Jamaica, and by Jamaican higher education institutions to persons globally.
The Standards allow JTEC to effectively regulate the tertiary education system by establishing the requirements that providers must meet in order for registration. First as institutions, and second for the qualifications they award.
Standards inform students and learners at all levels of the expectations of higher education providers. They facilitate the development of systems for continuous improvement and the monitoring and evaluating of performance.
