Why it matters

  • Ensures the alignment of institutional objectives with national educational goals and quality standards.
  • Promotes transparency and financial accountability in the allocation of public and private resources.
  • Facilitates the autonomy of academic bodies while maintaining oversight to prevent administrative malpractice.
  • Balances the roles of stakeholders including faculty, students, regulatory bodies, and governing boards.

How it is asked
