Quality Assurance Policy

Orapuh School (École Orapuh) is a pioneering online and distance-learning platform dedicated to providing high-quality education in the often-overlooked fields of oral and public health at an affordable price point. The school is committed to delivering excellent services and ensuring maximum customer satisfaction for all stakeholders. To achieve this, the school adheres strictly to all statutory, regulatory, and implied standards laid down by key stakeholders, treating them as the bare minimum for operating the school.

In line with the expectations of stakeholders, the school continually seeks to improve the effectiveness of its Quality Assurance System (QAS) to ensure quality at all times. A President heads the QAS and oversees all activities of the system. The President considers feedback and input from other faculty members to establish the school’s Quality Objectives (QO) and reviews and revises them annually or as needed.

The school’s policy on Quality Assurance shall be communicated to all faculties through correspondences or periodic meetings. The President shall also review the school’s Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) regularly to incorporate feedback and meet the stakeholders’ preferences and needs.

Teaching philosophy

At this school, we focus on teaching, research, and mentoring of oral and public health students. Our faculties have been fortunate to receive guidance from professors of international pedigree, and they are aware that students have different learning paces. As such, they adapt their teaching styles to accommodate these differences. Our programme cover a broad range of topics, sometimes integrated with other disciplines, and our faculties have learned to pace their lectures accordingly. Our teaching methods involve activities, assignments, and other effective techniques to help students learn.

Our goal is to educate our students to synthesize and apply their knowledge to complex problems, understand and apply technology in innovative ways, and possess well-developed research, communication, and cultural sensitivity skills that align with contemporary health professional roles.
