Davao de Oro State College welcomed the delegation from Kolehiyo ng Pantukan (KNP) for a comprehensive benchmarking visit of the College’s key administrative units and offices on February 4, 2026.

Led by KNP Acting College President Dr. Mary Ann R. Araula, the visit aimed to strengthen and enhance the Pantukan-based local college’s operational systems, with particular focus on governance, student services, and non-teaching personnel functions.

The benchmarking covered a wide range of offices, including the Office of the College President, Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Research and Development Division, Extension Services Division, Guidance and Testing Unit, Student Affairs and Services Division, Scholarship Unit, Registrar Services Unit, Library and Learning Resource Center, and the Gender and Development Unit.

DdOSC President Lilybeth M. Matunhay welcomed the visiting officials and underscored the importance of collaboration among local higher education institutions.

“We warmly welcome our colleagues from Kolehiyo ng Pantukan, as we recognize that this benchmarking activity provides a valuable platform for sharing best practices and, in turn, supports the continuous improvement of KNP,” Dr. Matunhay said.

Throughout the engagement, the 19-member KNP team engaged with various offices across the main campus, where DdOSC personnel presented institutional policies, operational workflows, and quality assurance mechanisms.
