This article examines the quality assurance (QA) regime of higher education (HE) in Mexico. In particular, we examine how the regulatory framework of HE quality has evolved in the past three decades and the different regulatory configurations and policy instruments used by QA agencies. We argue that the Mexican case is illustrative of a (weak) hybrid regulatory model that combines the policy instruments of both a state-centred model and a market-oriented model. Our results show diverse institutional patterns in the evaluation and accreditation of both public and private institutions.

墨西哥高等教育的监管和质量保证机构

本文考察了墨西哥高等教育 (HE) 的质量保证 (QA) 制度。特别是，我们研究了高等教育质量的监管框架在过去三年中是如何演变的，以及质量保证机构使用的不同监管配置和政策工具。我们认为，墨西哥的案例说明了一种（弱）混合监管模式，该模式结合了以国家为中心的模式和以市场为导向的模式的政策工具。我们的结果显示了公共和私人机构评估和认证的不同制度模式。
