Mattu University has successfully delivered a training program on academic program accreditation, the application process, and quality audit procedures. The training was facilitated by senior experts from the Educational Training Authority.

The main objectives of the training were to enhance institutional understanding and capacity in quality audit principles, standards, and practices related to academic program accreditation; to strengthen accreditation processes through systematic documentation, compliance with accreditation criteria, and alignment with recognized quality standards; and to prepare academic programs for internal and external accreditation reviews through evidence-based self-assessment, continuous monitoring, and readiness for quality audits.

In his opening speech, Dr. Alemu Disasa, President of Mattu University, emphasized that achieving the university’s mission is impossible without delivering quality education. He underlined the importance of the training and urged participants to actively engage and apply the knowledge gained for the overall success of the university.

Additionally, Mr. Abiy Gezehagn highlighted that the training enables the university to conduct effective self-assessment at all levels. He noted that quality education is not achieved overnight and requires continuous effort and commitment. He further stressed that the training specifically focuses on strengthening academic program accreditation and improving the quality audit of academic programs.

Dr. Diriba Gemechu, Director for Academic Affairs Directorate of Mattu University, also delivered an important directive to the trainees. In his closing speech, he stated that Mattu University has recently conducted academic program reviews for 17 programs. He emphasized that the training has further strengthened the university’s capacity to continuously review and improve its academic programs. 

Dr. Diriba stressed that without accrediting academic programs, it is impossible to deliver quality education and ensure institutional compliance. He underlined that every academic program in the university must be accredited by effectively applying the knowledge and skills gained from this training.
He also announced that the same training will be extended to Bedele Campus for the next two days, ensuring broader institutional engagement and consistency in academic quality assurance practices.
