The beginning of this task was USA, with the implementation of their quality models. The creation of the EEES (Spanish initials) strengthened cooperation between European Union states in the scope of higher education, enabling them to coordinate and accord on common guidelines among different forms of their education systems. In Latin America Chile started since 1990 practices of quality assurance in higher education. Later, all countries of the region incorporated this works in their university systems.
