Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Assoc. Prof. Gergie A. Ambato and Quality Assurance Director Assoc. Prof. Heidie Amor A. Parcia, successfully completed the 29th AUN-QA Tier 1 Training Course for Accomplishing Programme Assessment, a comprehensive four-day intensive program designed to strengthen quality assurance practices among higher education institutions preparing for AUN-QA assessment.
Held in Manila, Philippines on May 5โ8, 2026, the training was facilitated by distinguished AUN-QA Assessors Assoc. Prof. Tan Kay Chuan of the National University of Singapore, Assoc. Prof. Jorge Fidel Barahona Caceres of Maejo University, and Assoc. Prof. Jutarat Vibulphol of Chulalongkorn University.
Focused on the implementation of Version 4.0 of the ASEAN University Network-Quality Assurance (AUN-QA) framework, participants were equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary for programme-level assessment. The course emphasized the interpretation of AUN-QA criteria, application of the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) approach, and the preparation of Self-Assessment Reports (SAR).
Throughout the workshop, participants also engaged in in-depth discussions and practical exercises covering the introduction to the AUN-QA network and its goals, detailed analysis of programme assessment criteria, SAR writing techniques, and the overall assessment process.
The completion of the program further strengthened the MSUNโs commitment to academic quality, continuous improvement, and international standards in higher education. Their participation is expected to contribute significantly to ongoing institutional efforts toward programme accreditation and the enhancement of educational delivery and outcomes.
