Standard Twelve
Standard Twelve
The CQA acknowledges that knowledge is not value free. The meta-theoretical framework is a function of the value system that the institution subscribes to. The CQA, although it promotes academic co-operation with all religions for enrichment, advocates a Christian value system and ethical code of conduct. Although the CQA acknowledges that such a value system may find concrete expression in dogmatic confessions, the focus of the CQA is on the general and universally applicable moral principles that supersedes policy, undergirds policy and transcends ecclesiastical polarisation. Consequently all affiliates should give an account of this aspect in terms of the following criteria:
The institution subscribes and provides a clear outline of its value system that serves as a matrix for the development of courses and the delivery of its programmes.
