About IAO: www.iao.org International Accreditation Organization (IAO) is an international educational quality assurance agency working to enhance the standards of education around the world. Accreditation and educational quality assurance are essential factors that complete the educational ecosystem. While regional accreditation bodies have dutifully evaluated education providers on a regional scale; a body to recognize and accredit education providers on an international scale was needed in the wake of growing globalization. With more students studying at Educational Institutions or working for companies outside their home country, it was imperative to create standards that are both regionally and internationally recognized and accepted. The India chapter of IAO is in charge of standardizing and promoting traditional and non- traditional education in the India region. We have native members in our team who are well aware of the dynamics of India education system and possess the necessary expertise and knowledge to serve in the education field in India.
