The IAS-IEAB Censorship Departments are an independent oversight body established by IAS-IEAB International Education Group to uphold the highest standards of governance, fairness, and ethical compliance across all operations.
Mandate & Authority
The Censorship Departments operate with full autonomy and supreme decision-making power, including the authority to review, intervene, and enact disciplinary measures—up to and including dismissal—in matters related to:
Administration
Admission
Examination & Assessment
Ethics & Standards
To safeguard impartiality, IAS-IEAB leadership is barred from involvement in Censorship Departments’ affairs, ensuring unbiased oversight.
Global Structure for Rigorous Oversight
The offices of the review department are located in regions outside the three headquarters of IAS-IEAB, and each office is specifically responsible for key supervisory functions:
Primary oversight of examination integrity and assessment protocols.
Supervision of administrative compliance and institutional governance.
Enforcement of ethical standards and professional codes of conduct.
This decentralized model reinforces accountability through cross-regional checks and balances, while maintaining consistent global standards.
The Censorship Departments operate under strict confidentiality where required but prioritize public reporting of systemic findings to foster trust among stakeholders, including students, partner institutions, and regulatory bodies.
