AREA III: Curriculum And instruction

Curriculum and instruction occupy center stage in any educational program. These seek to research, develop and implement curriculum changes that enhance student achievement within and outside of institutions. How students learn and the best ways to educate deserve much consideration.

The quality of these two allied areas determines primarily the prestige and strength of the institution. Areas of concern are on six parameters. These are encompassing which are: a) curriculum and program of studies; b) instructional process, methodologies and learning opportunities; c) assessment of academic performance; d) classroom management; e) graduation requirements; and f) administrative support for effective instruction.
