A special general body meeting was held to discuss the matter of expired accreditation of institutes. IAO’s Accreditation Committee in this meeting took approval from the IAO Global Board to charge a one-time lump sum fee for the whole of that lapsed period.
As part of the TQAP process, such institutes with expired accreditation are urged to undergo the renewal process. Upon negligence on the institute’s part, the institute will be moved to the second step of the audit program, which mainly aims at removing the non-accredited institute’s name from all of IAO’s mediums and informing all educational bodies, ministries, embassies and relevant government / non-government entities about its current accreditation status through IAO’s Awareness Program. IAO’s Awareness Programis a highly-rich media campaign which runs on social media, TV channels and newspapers of your region, creating awareness to avoid any misguidance about our accredited institutes. This will in turn lead to a further investigation to be started in the institute’s name pertaining to its credibility.
