With the development of democratic societies we are needed more efforts for ensuring of quality of education from these values. In-deep studies are made into the concept of equal opportunity have claimed the importance to the concept of quality and, in the context of fairer educational institutions, to the educational equity, understood as something that goes beyond equal opportunities.
The concern regarding education quality assurance in education has been remarkable since the Bologna process was introduced. The aim of establishing a European Higher Education Area, in which both students and professionals could freely carry out their academic achievement, makes quality (SGIC) as a key issue. It has meant that, beyond the establishment of specific Quality Assurance Systems to each university, it is currently worked to extend it to a Culture of Quality.
