Brazil Nazarene College hopeful to begin classes in August
Brazil Nazarene College (BNC) is awaiting the final word from the Ministry of Education concerning accreditation in order to start classes in August 2008.The past year has been a rigorous year of examinations by the Ministry of Education. In May 2007, each department submitted a 75 page document answering 114 
evaluation aspects concerning each major. During the months of July through October, BNC received teams of examiners from the Ministry of Education for each of the five departments: business, communication, education, music education, and theology/missiology. Each evaluation team from the Ministry of Education carefully examined BNC with a list of over 100 items, scrutinizing the campus, administrative staff, faculty, textbooks in the library, and educational methodology.Within 90 days of each evaluation visit from the Ministry of Education, BNC was required to submit documents that satisfied any deficiency that was discovered by the evaluation team. Normally each department submitted an average of 12 documents to meet this requirement. An example of a deficiency would be an institutional system of evaluation for administrative staff, faculty, and graduating students according to government parameters, or the coherency of the courses in a degree program in relation to the profile of the desired graduate.Now, they are waiting on a final word from the Ministry of Education to begin classes.--NCN News-SAM (Slideshow available)
