Meanwhile, Dr. Ronald Candy Lasaten, CDIL director, reiterated the university’s commitment to delivering relevant and quality education, ensuring graduates are equipped to thrive in an ever-changing global landscape. 

The curriculum audit aims to meet the standards set by educational authorities, check the alignment with the latest standards and guidelines in education, identify the relevance to future job market needs, maintain continuous improvement in curriculum delivery, and ensure accountability to stakeholders and resource utilization.
