It is the 119th death anniversary of  Dr Jose Rizal, the acclaimed national hero, and a foremost alumnus  And today, I have been seeing a lot of posts and criticisms on loss of  PAASCU  (loss na ba talaga? Is the news accurate.  I searched the net for the news and there was none) accreditation for distinguished GSB. A former student in Clark texted me her concern on the hearsays and grapevine news on the possible withdrawal of the said accreditation. She is on Special Program, and is worried that she may not get the  diploma from abroad  or that the  Program will be discontinued.?

PAASCU accreditation of the  University

Brief History  PAASCU accreditation  

The school applied for accreditation in 2004 and was accredited in 2010.  I was all ready a part time faculty at that time (and still is ) and we participated in the process.  It was a long and tedious process.   Now as to the loss of accreditation, from my limited knowledge, the school management could have not complied or stalledto comply with several things that are necessary for the re accreditation.  We do not exactly know what happened as to why these things were not attended to.

The question to be raised here are:

1. Prior to 2010, was the quality education lesser compared to 2010 or after?

2.  Did more students enroll after 2010 due to PAASCU accreditation?

3.  Was the foreign school program running prior to PAASCU accreditation.?

Which is the better GSB?

'Quamplurimi et quam aptissimi" (As many as possible of the very best)

In the recent faculty development seminar conducted by Regis for GSB faculty, there was a lot of pow wow on the quality of GSB education. Which is better:   UP, De La Salle or Ateneo.

The chair of Mark Man department commented that Ateneo is better in delivering GSB education.  It is a professional school, meaning to say that most of its faculty are professionals:  working practicing business executives who do not work out from the workbook or text but from the richness of their working experience.  And thus are more experienced; and are both expert academically (theory ) and in reality (practice)  So AGSB students are lucky and fortunate to have this kind of teaching staff.

They also know how to draw from the experience of their students who are working professionals.   AGSB is populated by more a thousand working professional GSB students!

In one of the GSB, one of the Professors who teaches Entrepreneurship who also chairs their department was asked what he will do when he retires, he said "he will probably start a business."  I am shocked to learn too that the head of a very famous school on entrepreneurship who writes and talks a mouthful on entrepreneurship has not run a large business, nor was he ever successful in running one.

We say that leaders are not judged by what they say, but what they do and who they are.  (Eh may kuwento ng mga flying objects while he conducts class as was shared in one of the story telling sessions of the faculty)
