Most Awaited IQuAME Accreditation Given to Adamson.
The preparation took at least a year of hard work and arduous preparation; the entire village came to provide support and rally towards the win. The result was a magnificent crown which the University can now proudly wear.
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) recently gave Adamson University the much-coveted certification for the Institutional Monitoring and Evaluation for Quality Assurance or IQuAME during their en banc session last May 26. The certification given will be valid for five years, starting from school year 2010 up to 2015.
IQuAME is CHED’s program to ensure quality and excellence, relevance and responsiveness, access and equity, and efficiency in Philippine higher education. Its four-fold objectives in certifying worthy schools is to enhance the institution’s capacity in designing, delivering, and managing programs and services; to identify areas for reform and intervention; to provide accurate, up-to-date information on performance of higher education institutions to enable stakeholders to make informed choices; and to enable the institution to set up its own Institutional Quality Assurance Management System. These objectives are stipulated in CHED Memorandum Order No. 15, Series of 2005.
The certification means that Adamson has met the requirements and have complied with the standards set forth by CHED to determine the worthiness of its education and service. It will be the prime evidence of Adamson’s claim in providing first-rate education, at par with the best schools in the country. This achievement also comes at the heels of Adamson’s drive towards obtaining autonomous status. Yael Esperat
