introduction

Established in January 2010, The Center for Educational Policy and Administration (CEPA) stands as a distinguished vanguard of academic excellence at the University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan. Having been envisioned and founded by an eminent cohort of academic leaders: Prof. Dr. Muhammad Nawaz, Prof. Dr. Nasim Ahmad S.I., Prof. Dr. Muhammad Aleem, Prof. Dr. Habib ur Rehman, and Prof. Dr. Hafsa Zaneb, the center is strategically mandated with designing progressive frameworks, enhancing educational competencies, and modernizing pedagogy across all university cadres. By driving systematic training operations and advanced analytical workshops, CEPA elevates curriculum delivery and ensures institutional alignment with elite international benchmarks. Through strategic curriculum harmonization, rigorous capacity building, and the meticulous implementation of standardized, outcome-based evaluation frameworks, the center serves as the foundational bedrock for elevating the university's teaching standards and academic legacy.”

At CEPA we work,

1. To define the general and degree specific attributes of a UVAS graduate and define means to achieve these attributes.
2. Re-visiting existing degree program’s strengths and weakness.
3. To promote uniform academic practices (teaching/evaluation).
4. Devise ways to develop comprehensive evaluation system through consultation with the faculty, where a student is evaluated multiple times in more than one ways during a semester.
5. Arrange workshops/seminars to engage the faculty in developing valid and reliable question papers.
6. Effectuate a situation where course in-charge is instrumental in determining the schedule/conduct/evaluation methods of individual courses.
