Program Monitoring and Review

Curriculum development, review/enrichment and monitoring are dynamic and continuing processes by which an academic institution plans, implements, and evaluates its academic programs in a coherent and logical manner.

The curriculum guides the teaching/learning process by defining what is to be learned, how it is to be learned, how it will be assessed. Through the use of written curriculum documents, the faculty members are able to ensure that every student will encounter a planned, on-going and systematic program. To be highly effective, the written curriculum must be used by the faculty members to make instructional decisions which are focused on the provision of holistic learning opportunities while complying the expected competencies that each student should acquire.

The conduct of a curriculum review and enrichment programs is therefore necessary to ensure that the content and context of the academic programs as definedin the structure curriculum are relevant, dynamic and meaningful given the evolving development trendsin thelabor market,in the different fields of academic disciplines and areas of specialization and the professional aspirations and career expectations of the graduates as professionals.
