This study was conducted to investigate issues of quality assurance at the Arts Education College of Laos. The researchers interviewed participants from two main categories: directors and heads of sections. The study found a number of issues concerning quality assurance at the institution. First, it found that there was lack of a clear development policy which was manifested through the lack of vision on capacity building, failure to provide a clearly laid out plan or development agenda by the administration, failure to support in-service training and academic upgrading for lecturers, no clear focus on the development goals and unclear plans of dealing with the challenges that are impeding quality education at the college. The study also found that the college did not have any mechanism for quality assurance. In relation to this, it found that the state of quality assurance at the college was not satisfying. However, the administrators were optimistic that improvement was imminent.
