Quality Assurance is a must for higher education institutions. UP, as a national university, has embedded quality assurance in its system through the Internal Academic and Assessment Development System (iAADS) and other quality check mechanisms for its academic programs. Its quality assurance system provides ways to ensure, maintain and enhance academic excellence in the university.
In UPV, the Quality Assurance Committee was constituted to be responsible for the overall quality standards of the University’s academic programs and its support services. It shall guard the management goals at all levels and ensure that key users implement and modify processes, procedures and standards.
