Abstract
Currently, quality assurance and quality accreditation are very important tasks and are the top concern for higher education institutions. This is because universities can achieve their goals to meet the needs of learners, the community, and society in their educational and training quality to enhance the position of the university through quality assurance activities. Standards of quality assurance and quality accreditation are the best measurement system for the level of quality of education services. Quality assurance can help detect limited issues to adjust and overcome before implementation. The application of quality assurance and quality accreditation is the secret behind the success of most higher education institutions around the world; therefore, quality assurance and quality accreditation are the concern of universities in Vietnam in general and local universities in particular, especially universities in the most disadvantaged regions of Vietnam. This study discusses some of the theoretical issues of quality assurance and quality accreditation; identifies the relationship of quality assurance and quality accreditation with the objectives, quality level, and application of higher education in Vietnam; and at the same time provides some recommendations to help increase the application of quality assurance and quality accreditation in higher education institutions in Vietnam.
