"This book approaches the issue of quality of higher education using a framework based on the capability approach. Both the topic and the approach are extremely innovative and relevant because the dominant conception of quality in the literature at an international and regional level is based on the human capital approach. Thus, this novel approach can bring new academic insights and policy recommendation to address the quality of universities, especially in a Global South context." — Professor Sandra Boni, Department of Projects Engineering, The Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain
"Quality in Higher Education as a Tool for Human Development makes an important and timely contribution to the field by offering a new way of understanding quality processes in higher education. This approach foregrounds the importance of human capability development and could help to change our understanding of the nature of high-quality higher education." — Professor Paul Ashwin, Department of Educational Research, Lancaster University, UK
