Philippines, December 30, 2015
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.?
