Why PACT?
PACT is a comprehensive institutional accreditation system that ensures the quality and international credibility of educational institutions. It evaluates academic performance, governance practices, educational processes, stakeholder relations, and societal contribution. With its unique approach, harmonizing universal quality principles with the needs of diverse societies, it supports institutions in building qualified and sustainable educational ecosystems. PACT views education not merely as knowledge transmission but as a value-based and meaningful human development process.
PACT Institutional Accreditation
PACT represents a structured institutional accreditation system designed to ensure effective and sustainable educational processes. Based on defined standards, institutions develop and maintain quality processes supported by improvement plans.
To guarantee institutional quality and sustainable development, a multi-layered standards system is applied. National, international, and IM-implementing schools are evaluated with consideration of contextual conditions. The PACT system offers comprehensive standard sets for K–12 schools, universities, education and research centers, and student dormitories.
PACT School Accreditation
PACT school accreditation is an independent, external assessment and recognition process that aims to objectively verify an educational institution's compliance with established accreditation and quality standards. This process systematically identifies a school's strengths and areas for improvement, thereby ensuring institutional credibility, accountability, and continuous quality assurance.
PACT school accreditation is designed to assess the compliance of K–12 schools with established standards. The goal of this process is to ensure systematic improvement of current practices, strengthen institutional capacity, and guide the overall operation of each school. PACT school accreditation is a holistic process that evaluates schools in line with the principles of quality assurance and continuous improvement. Each school is evaluated considering its educational system, cultural context, and local conditions, and standards are applied flexibly to respond to local needs.
The primary objective of the process is to strengthen schools' institutional capacity and establish a solid foundation for effective curriculum implementation and educational processes. PACT enhances schools' ability to provide an education built on values, virtue, responsibility, and justice. It integrates elements of pedagogy, curriculum, and student development. This process provides development-focused guidance, identifies areas for growth and improvement, and supports the development of teaching and learning practices and student achievement. Within this framework, schools receive school-specific support to strengthen educational management, streamline teaching processes, and sustain a culture of quality.
