The paradigm shift in education did not only overturn the classroom setting per se, but all other activities of a learning institution, including accreditation, among others. But defying bounds and virtual fringes, PSU persists in its unfaltering mandate to advance quality education and excellent service to its stakeholders.
“I challenge all our participants to echo and share the new things in your respective institutions; this is an opportunity more than anything else. Let us then seize this opportunity to leverage the areas that could earn our institutions higher accreditation levels,” DRB echoed. /ksg
