Dr. Minerva I. Morales, SUC President III of Catanduanes State Colleges,
earlier welcomed at 7:30 this morning the Accrediting Agency of Chartered
Colleges and Universities, Inc. (AACCUP) team.
The accreditors are now conducting this Monday, April 23, the preliminary
survey visit to seven academic programs of CSC and will finalize their
evaluation on Wednesday, April 25.
The President also shared her welcome thoughts during the Opening
Program at the CSC Little Theater where the four-member AACCUP team
was introduced to the CSC community at 8:30 this morning.
Heading the accrediting team is Dr. Gregorio T. dela Rosa from University
of Eastern Philippines.
Dr. dela Rosa will also assess the MA in English and Master of Arts
in Education – Mathematics programs at the Graduate School.
The survey team members are Dr. Victorial M. Noble of Southern Luzon
State University who will take charge in evaluating the Master of
Arts in Teaching Biology and Bachelor of Science in Information Technology
programs; Dr. Nimfa T. Basierto of University of Eastern Philippines
who will review the Bachelor of Office Administration and Bachelor
of Science in Entrepreneurship, and Dr. Ronato S. Ballado, also of
University of Eastern Philippines, who will assess the Bachelor of
Elementary Education program.<
In his message during the opening program, Dr. dela Rosa underscored
the need to provide a ‘borderless education’ that will
recognize the skills and competencies of the students in other countries.
“We have to be creative, we have to be curious. Faculty members,
not only students, must have that sense of curiosity and creativity—
(kung) paano maituturo (sa mga estudyante), paano mapupukaw ang kaisipan
ng mga bata para taluntunin ang daan ng higit pang kaalaman na dapat
nilang mapag aralan,” he emphasized.
He also said that as accreditors, their task is to help, not to discriminate.
