The general idea isthat a strong policy environment is a prerequisite tobetter-performing tertiary education institutions, includinguniversities, colleges, and technical and vocationalinstitutes. The diagnostic tool aims to help countriesassess best practices and to diagnose which policies needurgent attention. For some policy areas, countries arescored on specific ‘policy levers’ to help make concreterecommendations for improvement. Each of the seven policydimensions can contribute to the outcomes of tertiaryeducation systems, although they work together in a holisticway.
