Conference Design
The Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP), Inc. is ushering in its 30th year of operation. Since the year 1987, the Agency has been holding its Annual Conferences regularly every year without exception. The Conferences were sparsely attended during its early 10 years as there were only a few Members.
However, before the 20th century ended, times have changed and have kept changing for the better. Accreditation has been accepted as a vital tool to enhance the ability of State Institutions to fulfill their constitutional mandate to provide quality education. As of date, 97% of the SUCs are in the AACCUP Roster of Institutions with Accredited Programs.
Since the inception of the 21st century, the Annual Conferences have been well-attended and inclusively participated in by the State Universities and Colleges. Normally, invitations were limited to 400 participants, but the actual number always exceeded 500. We can attribute the SUCs attendance to a myriad of reasons: the relevance and timeliness of the themes and topics; the invitation of the appropriate and competent Resource Persons/Speakers; the venue and the reasonableness of the conference fees; and the systematic management of the Conference activities.
To top it all, are the support and endorsement of the CHED, and the partnering with the PASUC whose members are beneficiaries of Accreditation. This year’s National Conference is definitely attractive as AACCUP shifts gears towards internalizing the accreditation system (empowering SUCs to accredit/evaluate their programs) and internationalization (quality assurance of International Higher Education and of the AACCUP itself) to be addressed by an array of local and foreign Speakers
