CHE in action
Working together to strengthen higher education.Meet the CHE team People, institutions and partners working toward a more credible and connected higher education system.
Why CHE exists
Quality is a public promise.
As a statutory corporate body established under Section 4 of the Higher Education Act of 2004, CHE works at the point where policy, institutions and people meet.
Our job is to help make the higher education system in Lesotho more credible, more transparent and more responsive — so learners can make informed choices, institutions can improve and qualifications can be recognised beyond borders.
