"University Monitoring and Evaluation Reports" for each higher education institution are published annually based on criteria set by the CHE. These reports, containing quantitative and qualitative evaluations directed towards higher education institutions, are shared with the public by the CHE.

"Foundation Higher Education Institutions Report" containing academic, administrative, and financial data of foundation higher education institutions is published annually by the CoHE. These reports, which include quantitative and qualitative evaluations conducted for foundation higher education institutions, are shared with the public by the CoHE.
