The legal foundation for periodic programme review is established in Article 7 of the 2019 Ministerial Order. The verified verbatim phrase states:
"All higher education institutions shall conduct internal programme reviews on a five-year cycle." [verified-by-source ministerial_order_2019-line-2]
The remainder of Article 7 — which reportedly addresses panel composition requirements including external expert and industry representative quotas — has not yet been verified against the official gazette text and is therefore paraphrased here as unconfirmed surrounding context pending retrieval.
Institutions must at minimum ensure compliance with the five-year review cycle mandate established by the verified clause of Article 7. Panel composition requirements will be incorporated into compliance guidance once the full article text is confirmed against the gazette source.
