SUMMARY The changing context for quality assurance and enhancement in education in the UK and elsewhere presents both an opportunity and a challenge because it offers the possibility of integrating sustainable development into all quality systems. One consequence is the alignment of a number of policy developments to provide a more coherent and integrated approach to performance management and relevant outcomes in our education institutions. More fundamentally it raises the following questions: • Should sustainable development be an integral component of all quality assurance processes and standards in our education systems? • Does education which embraces sustainable development contribute to a transformative learning experience and thus better performance by learners? This paper assesses current developments in quality assurance and enhancement in the UK′s education sector and how this evolving agenda is approaching the question of integrating sustainable development within it. It also questions how far current processes of promoting sustainable development might contribute to student performance and to the development of good practice in teaching and learning. (Orig.)
