ABOUT ACCREDITATION By definition, the word "accredit" means to authorize, endorse, and officially approve of. What ordination is to a minister, accreditation is to a school. Accreditation is a group process by which schools voluntarily agree to participate in a set of established standards in order to encourage quality education. Accreditation is a developmental process of becoming valid and credible in an institution's purported mission. Accreditation is a concept and practice receiving increasing attention but which has its origins and principle evolution in the USA since the 1880's. Accreditation is a voluntary process and has been so from its beginnings. Schools are not legally required to become accredited but it is a very desirable standing. Accredited status means that a school has voluntarily undergone a comprehensive examination to determine that it operates at a worthy level of performance. All accrediting agencies are private, non-profit, nongovernmental bodies. Accreditors employ peer evaluations to exact required standards of performance expected by the academic, professional or technical communities, in their comprehensive scrutiny of those institutions which voluntarily submit themselves to the accreditation process.
