UKÄ (Universitetskanslersämbetet — the Swedish Higher Education Authority) is responsible for quality assurance of Sweden's universities and university colleges. The agency evaluates programmes, reviews institutions' quality assurance processes, and monitors higher education outcomes.
Connection to schools
UKÄ reviews teacher training programmes, which are critical to the future supply of qualified teachers. The quality of teacher education directly affects schools' ability to recruit competent staff. UKÄ also publishes statistics on completion rates and labour market outcomes after graduation.
