To uphold the delivery of quality and transformative forestry education for its students, Partido State University (ParSU) College of Environmental Science and Environmental Design(CESD)Tinambac Campus welcomed the esteemed Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Regional Quality Assessment Team (RQAT) for the Evaluation of the Application for Issuance of the Certificate of Program Compliance (COPC) to the Bachelor of Science in Forestry (BSF).  

Dr. Michael B. Mallari, Education Supervisor of CHED Regional Office V, and Dr. Rusty G. Abanto, RQAT member, conducted an onsite evaluation and ocular inspection of facilities and learning resources to ensure that the program complies with CHED's standards for COPC issuance. 

In his welcome message, ParSU President Arnel B. Zarcedo, EDEL, emphasized that sustainable resource management must be science-based, locally grounded, and future-oriented, forming the BSF's core philosophy. This also forms part of the university's broader vision to become a Center of Excellence in Environmental and Natural Resource Management, a key pillar in the strategic thrust of Partido State University, aiming to position ParSU not only as a provider of quality instruction but also as a driving force in regional and national efforts toward sustainable development. 

Notably, during the exit conference, the RQAT had favorable findings on ParSU's faculty, faculty development initiatives, library facilities, support services, and laboratories, among others. Thus, ParSU's BSF was generally compliant, with recommendations for further improvements, marking a significant step toward obtaining the COPC. 

In response, Yolda T. Abante, MRM, MAN, OIC Dean of the CESD, expressed sincere appreciation for the evaluators' feedback and extended sincere gratitude for the support, hard work, and dedication of all the administration, university officials, Mr. Frances Turiano, Department Chair of CESD, and the CESD faculty and non-teaching personnel, highlighting that this milestone was a result of collective efforts of the ParSU community. 

As the college pushes forward with strengthening its BSF program, the positive result of the visit stands as a testament to ParSU's dedication to providing quality instruction that continually seeks excellence in its service.
