The reflection about others experiences are very important to help the own planning processes, but local, regional and national characteristics must be taken in account. The evaluation process must have general and specifics objectives, and the evaluation criteria must be clearly established for all parts of the institution that would be involved in it. Together with the goals, must be clear that institutional evaluation is a continuum process were the objectives need to be achieved and periodically redefined. This put the higher education institutions in a permanent process of self regulation focusing on the improvement of quality in all activities carried out by the institution.
