Overview

To complement the outcomes-based approach to education adopted by MAPÚA in 2004, the Continuous Quality Improvement Office (CQIO) was created in the same year. The office has the mandate to consistently move the school towards ever higher levels of attainment of the program educational objectives and desired learning outcomes of its various academic programs. In doing so, it ensures that the P-D-C-A approach to continuous quality improvement is strictly being implemented by the schools and academic departments for purposes of academic program improvement and it conducts internal quality audits to check compliance with mandatory, statutory and regulatory requirements as well. CQIO also manages and coordinates all activities relevant to the accreditation of academic programs by both local and foreign accrediting bodies.
