About us
Quality Policy
At the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities (PAASCU), we are dedicated to enabling our member institutions to realize their vision and mission. We do this by providing developmental voluntary accreditation that will allow them to comply with regulatory requirements, achieve evidence-excellence in learning outcomes, and be responsive to their stakeholders, particularly learners.
Our commitment at PAASCU is to comply with and maintain an effective quality management system. We do this by periodically reviewing and validating our accreditation standards and processes based on our member schools’ requirements for external accreditation, learning from their feedback, and complying with regulatory requirements. We are also committed to continually striving for improvement in line with our quality objectives. This commitment to continuous improvement is a cornerstone of our operations, ensuring the fulfillment of our mission.
Quality Objectives
- Advocate for external quality assurance through voluntary accreditation that will support the internal quality assurance initiatives of institutions
- Provide opportunities for PAASCU leadership, accreditors, and staff to achieve the expected attributes and competencies relevant to their tasks and responsibilities
- Review periodically the accreditation standards, survey instruments, and policies for relevance
- Engage with member institutions, relevant regulatory, professional, and QA bodies, both local and international, on issues that affect external quality assurance
