in the quality of facilities, services and teachers,
higher level of competence of graduates and
success in employment.
■It stimulates the pursuit of excellence;
encourages compliance with quality specifications
a n d o b j e c t ive s t a n d a rd s ; a n d re s u l t s i n
empowerment.
■It is a concept of self-regulation which focuses on
self-study and evaluation and on the continuing
improvement of educational quality. 

•Accreditation is both a process and a result.


•As a process, it is a form of peer review in which
an association of schools and colleges establishes
sets of criteria and procedures to encourage high
maintenance of standards of education among its
affiliate members.

•As a result, it is a form of Certification granted


by a recognized and authorized accrediting agency
to an educational program or to an educational
institution as possessing certain standards of quality,
which are over and above those prescribed as
minimum requirements for government
recognition. 
•Accreditation is  based upon an analysis of the
merits of educational operations in the context of
the institution's philosophy and objectives.

of Colleges and Universities Commission on
Accreditation) is open to all schools that are able to
meet the standards and requirements of the
agency.
