On the potential environmental tasks of accreditation committees – a polemic with the draft Strategy for the Development of Higher Education

Abstract

This article discusses the issue of peer accreditation, identified in the draft Strategy for the Development of Higher Education in Poland until 2035 as one of the key challenges in addressing the inefficiencies of the Polish accreditation system. It explains why the strategy's authors' proposal to have peer committees meet European standards is unrealistic. It also identifies the activities that should be covered by these committees, complementing those of the Polish Accreditation Committee.
