It's YOUR time to #EdUp with Honar Issa, Secretary-General, Dilan Rostam, Director for Higher Education, & Boushra Rahal Alameh, President, Kurdistan Accrediting Association for Education (KAAE)

In this episode, recorded Live from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education⁠ 2025 Annual Conference

YOUR cohost is Dr. Davie Gilmour, Commissioner, Immediate Past Chair of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, & President (Ret.) Emeritus of PennsylvaniaCollege of Technology

YOUR host is ⁠⁠Dr. Joe Sallustio

  • How did Kurdistan rebuild its education system after decades of war, embargos & disconnection from the international community by establishing KAAE in 2022 with Middle States as official partner to bring standardization & peer review to institutions?
  • Why did 11 pilot universities & K-12 schools voluntarily participate in this model project with 4 additional institutions asking "why didn't you choose us" because competition drives them to implement standards & become founding institutions opening doors for globalization?
  • How does introducing a ranking system within accreditation incentivize institutions to focus on mission centricity, governance, effectiveness & student outcomes rather than just financial burden or political challenges?
