Measuring quality of education is not an easy process. Different universities use different techniques to help them determine whether or not their students are getting the proper education. One of the most common ways used in the west is the use of Objectives. Departments place course and program objectives that it works on to ensure that the student is familiar with so that the student can compete in the market after graduating.
