Q&A (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 705)

Only private schools not accredited by PAASCU are subjected to IQUAME according to EO No. 705.

Private colleges and universities accredited by PAASCU shall be automatically recognized as accredited by IQUAME without further evaluation.

PAASCU serves as a reputable accrediting agency whose accreditation is recognized by the Commission on Higher Education, thereby exempting its accredited institutions from undergoing IQUAME.

IQUAME shall be a tool not only for regulation but also for providing incentives to accredited colleges and universities.

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) is tasked with implementing EO No. 705.

PAASCU accreditation is automatically recognized as equivalent to IQUAME accreditation under EO No. 705.

Executive Order No. 705 was signed by President Gloria M. Arroyo and countersigned by Executive Secretary Eduardo R. Ermita.

EO No. 705 does not specify any penalties; rather, it regulates which schools undergo IQUAME monitoring and evaluation based on PAASCU accreditation status.
