Endowment Fund, Higher Education, Strategic Management, Quality Assurance
This research explores the pivotal role of strategic endowment fund management in elevating the quality assurance standards within higher education institutions. Quality assurance in higher education is of paramount importance, especially in a global context where educational excellence is a driving force for socioeconomic development. Drawing from an extensive analysis of case studies across diverse geographical regions and institutional types, this research identifies key strategies and best practices that have yielded tangible improvements in educational quality. It explores the innovative ways in which endowment funds are established, managed, and leveraged to address specific quality assurance challenges faced by higher education institutions.
Furthermore, it examines the ethical considerations inherent in fund allocation and distribution, ensuring equitable access to resources for quality enhancement. In doing so, this research paper not only underscores the critical association between endowment fund management and higher education quality assurance but also provides a repository of practical insights and best practices that can guide policymakers, educational leaders, and philanthropic organizations in their efforts to sustain and elevate the quality of higher education worldwide. As higher education institutions grapple with the challenges of the 21st century, strategic endowment fund management emerges as a powerful tool in ensuring that educational quality remains at the forefront.
