This document discusses quality assurance in education through voluntary accreditation in the Philippines. It explains that voluntary accreditation is a process of self-regulation that focuses on self-study and evaluation to continually improve educational quality. The Commission on Higher Education was created in 1994 to oversee accrediting agencies in the Philippines. These agencies have established standards and procedures for institutions to undergo peer review and receive certification. More recently, outcomes-based education has been adopted, which focuses on defining program and student learning outcomes and using curriculum mapping and outcomes-based assessment to measure the achievement of outcomes.

your previous best and showing that you are at
the leading edge in most aspects.
