It also investigates the influencing factors that may hinder or enhance the implementation of the self-evaluation process and how this process can improve the awareness of quality culture and the performance of the educational institution and thus encourage Libyan educational institutions to accelerate adopting this process.To achieve the objectives of this study a review of Arab and international literature for different academic experiments related to quality assurance in institutions of higher education. Through a review of previous literature on quality assurance in institutions of higher education.
