A YEAR OF QUALITY IN EDUCATION - IAO Roundup for 2011

2011 has been a busy year for IAO. IAO in lieu of its commitment to promote quality education globally has accredited some of the leading educational institutions in various regions of the world.

Chicago, IL (prHWY.com) January 30, 2012 - There are certain criteria that educational institutions are necessitated to meet in terms of attributes governing educational success and job placement. IAO's accreditation helps maintain a quality in the education standards for colleges and universities. This process involves steps which allow both professional and peer review. This is the generic process of accreditation; however, IAO believes in taking the process one step ahead.

Today IAO has altered the realm of accreditation and is responsible for accrediting hundreds of colleges and universities around the globe. Accreditation is usually dependent on a conventional peer and professional review system. However, IAO confirms solidarity in process and values to ensure quality in education universally, through its clear and transparent Points Profile System.

With the rise of different education models, quality assurance is getting more difficult. IAO is busy recognizing new trends every day and has come up with its own elaborate system. The last year has been an extensive contribution to educational quality by recognizing the use of international standards at the institutional level. Our achievements in 2011 range from fully accrediting School of Management Sciences in New Delhi, ARAA Consultancy and Studies Centre in the UAE, Hulwazi School in South Africa, North East Medical College Hospital in Bangladesh, The Tulip International School, NTC College of Transport Education, Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management, R.D. Engineering College and The VLCC Institute of Beauty Health and Management in India. The latest in this long list of accredited institutes are the Sree Narayana Gurukulam College in India and Global Consultants Company WLL in Kuwait.

The list does not end here. There are numerous other institutes in various regions which are awaiting their full accreditation certificate in the candidacy zone, such as Bangalore University in India , Genius Business Consultancy FZ LLC in UAE, Lalani Computer Academy in India, Dr.Ambedkar Institute of Technology in India, Ashok & Rita Patel Institute of Integrated Study & Research in Biotechnology & Allied Sciences (ARIBAS) in India, RAK International, Infocenter Training Consulting and MICA Qatar Consulting Services, Quattro Training Centre in UAE and London Training Center in Bahrain.

When asked about the quality of our process, Mr. Muqaddam Al-Amin, a faculty member from Qatar, had to say the following. "The IAO accreditation process was a collaborative effort between different departments and allowed us to focus on a single mission - to provide quality education and exceptional student achievement."

IAO's Accreditation reflects three primary values which are important to the academic quality: self-sufficiency of institutes, freedom to choose courses and peer and professional review.

Commitment to academic excellence, IAO extends its services one step further by introducing its Accreditation for Teachers. IAO's Accredited Faculty Program is aimed at assuring a universal and proper set of performance measures for teachers in higher education. Standards defined by IAO are not designed to replace the current practices of teachers, rather tends to improvise the practices and promote international trends among teachers. Faculty accreditation and certification is meant to ensure quality teaching in all institutions around the world providing the faculty members ample opportunities to excel in their respective fields.

Ranganathan Prasad, a qualified teacher from a university in Kolkata, defined our system in these words:"A rigorous accreditation system that blends the best thinking of many educational experts in the field with the identified strengths of the education providers."
