RMMC - Quality Assurance Office

Happy Mother's Day to all QUALITY MOTHERS! - from Quality Assurance Office.

Mother to Son
By Langston Hughes

Well, son, I’ll tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
It’s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I’se been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.
So boy, don’t you turn back.
Don’t you set down on the steps
’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.
Don’t you fall now—
For I’se still goin’, honey,
I’se still climbin’,
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.

RAMON MAGSAYSAY MEMORIAL COLLEGES EARNS INQAAHE CERTIFICATION, BOOSTING GLOBAL QUALITY ASSURANCE RECOGNITION

Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Colleges, Inc., General Santos City, is now a certified member of the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies (INQAAHE), the first in the Philippines, as confirmed by the INQAAHE Secretariat.

The certification, signed by Dr. Mary Catherine Lennon, INQAAHE Chief Executive Officer, was published on the official INQAAHE page on March 23, 2026.

This development brings enhanced international credibility. Being recognized by INQAAHE elevates the school’s global reputation. It signals that the institution meets international standards in quality assurance, making it more competitive among higher education institutions worldwide.

The certification also encourages continuous improvement in academic programs, teaching methods, and institutional processes, leading to better overall educational outcomes for students.

Moreover, it strengthens global partnerships. With international recognition, the college is more likely to attract collaborations with foreign universities, organizations, and research institutions for exchange programs and joint projects.

Increased student confidence and enrollment are also expected. Students and parents may feel more confident choosing the institution, knowing it adheres to globally recognized quality standards. This may lead to higher enrollment, including international students.

Graduates may benefit from greater recognition of their degrees, as employers may view credentials from an internationally certified institution as more credible and competitive.

Membership in a global network allows the college to benchmark its practices against other institutions worldwide, helping it stay updated with best practices in education and governance.

Finally, this certification ushers in institutional prestige and a leadership role. The college can position itself as a leader in quality assurance within the region, potentially influencing other institutions and contributing to national educational development.

True to its commitment of providing quality education and services, the Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Colleges, Inc. gave birth to Quality Assurance Office (QAO).

The primary goal of the Quality Assurance Office (QAO) is to ensure and continuously improve the quality of education and services of the institution by making sure that all programs, processes, and operations meet established standards.

In simple terms, the QAO works to:
• Monitor if the school follows quality standards
• Evaluate academic and administrative performance
• Support accreditation and compliance
• Promote continuous improvement across the institution
Its main focus is excellence, accountability, and consistency in delivering quality education.
