This Working Group on Public Administration Education strives to stimulate the participation of NISPAcee members in a structured discussion with regard to the fundamental rationale of public administration programmes, namely the quality of education.

Education in the field of Public Adminstration is currently undergoing significant transformations with regard to both content and structure. The question we want to provide an answer to is whether public administration programmes are able to cope with the new political, economic, and technological challenges, as well as with the consumers’ expectancies and therefore to offer qualitative education.

The Working Group organise paper sessions andtraining sessions. Furthermore it organise a session on the preparation for accreditation, and the EAPAA Advisory Panel session, both in collaboration with the European Association for Public Administration Accreditation (EAPAA).

The Working Group is focused on those interested isseus in public administration education because they are in charge of public administration programmes, manage public administration departments or would like to share their experiences with public administration teaching.
