In a move to familiarize themselves
with the procedures involved in the Institutional Monitoring and Evaluation for
Quality Assurance in Higher Education (IQUAME) accreditation, 21 key School Administrators
visited the University of the East last to gain firsthand knowledge of the Recto-based
school’s own experience with the whole procedure.
Mrs.
Theresita O. Turla, MDC President, and 20 others were cordially received with
no less than Dr. Esther Garcia, UE President, welcoming them.
After
a warm exchange of pleasantries, officials from both schools shared reports about
the different key result areas (KRA) being evaluated in IQUAME. The chair of
each KRA enumerated to the group the required exhibits and the approach they
used in answering self-evaluation documents.
An
open forum was also held enabling the MDC officials to get better perspective
of the UE experience. They also visited
the Accreditation Room where exhibits are kept.
Notable
among the knowledge that their UE counterparts imparted included the need to
adhere to the guideline in the implementation of the project and programs.
Also, proper lines of communication must be established that includes the
presence of organizational charts and flow charts of procedures. The proper dissemination of information must
be also ensured so the right target is reached.
