Interview with Mrs. Luz-María Nieto-Caraveo, Professor and Academic Vice President of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí, and Mexican Representative in AHELO Group of National Experts (GNE) Why is your country interested in AHELO? Intense work has been done on a National Quality Assessment System during the last decades, including self-assessment, external assessment, national tests for entering and graduating students in higher education, quality assurance agencies, and the overall assessment of the system. It must be taken into account that the higher education system in Mexico is constantly growing, in the context of the demographic, economic, technological and political transition the country is undergoing. Furthermore, a good part of the most important HEIs is implementing substantial reforms oriented towards innovation, the development of competencies, curricular flexibility and student mobility, among others.
