Abstract     There are two universities in Slovenia which undertake research and teaching and offer professional services. The quality of the research performed by faculty members is assured by strict quantitative bibliographical criteria employed in the faculty rank award procedure. The criteria for teaching quality are less well defined. The new Higher Education Act of 1993, organized university staff development, the appearance of an integrated information system, and student evaluation of faculty teaching performance with the aid of student questionnaires can all be regarded as extrinsic assistance to intinsic efforts on the part of faculty, students, and their organizations. Slovenia will endeavour to broaden and deepen its co-operation with international organizations and foundations in the field of quality assessment and improvement of higher education institutions, particulary the quality of the teaching they offer.
