Higher Educational Institution Assessment as the Basis for Sustainable Educational Quality

Abstract

This study evaluated the quality assurance status of Philippine higher education institutions using the Institutional Sustainability Assessment Standards. The research collected data from university administrators, faculty, students, researchers, and community extension and linkages officers in the Philippines. Descriptive research methods were employed to analyze the data and assess the status of higher education institutions. The results showed that the quality assurance categories, including Government and Management, Quality of Teaching and Learning, Support for Students, and Relationship with the Community, were strong, while Professional Exposure, Research, and Creative Works were identified as a weakness. The study's recommendations can help guide Philippine higher education institutions in their continuous efforts to improve their quality of education
