She has held teaching and administrative positions at various schools, and was President of the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU).[2]
Secretary of Education
[edit]Quisumbing was recommended to President Aquino for the post of Secretary of Education, Culture, and Sports by Justice Cecilia Muñoz-Palma.

While President of Miriam (then Maryknoll) College, Quisumbing developed a curriculum of values education. As Secretary of Education, she attempted to implement this curriculum at the national level.[4] Also of concern during Quisumbing's tenure as Secretary was the state of higher education in the Philippines. She made numerous statements regarding the need for accreditation and for more alignment between educational and national goals. To address these concerns she commissioned the Task Force to Study State Higher Education, which ultimately reported that many state colleges and universities were operating without planning and without a clear mission.[5]

She is permanent representative to UNESCO for the Philippine government.[5] She was the founder and first President of the UNESCO-Asia Pacific Network for International Education and Values Education (APNIEVE), and was a former Secretary-General of the UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (1990 to 1998).[2] She was chairperson emerita on the Board of Trustees for Miriam College.[7] Quisumbing died on 14 October 2017 at the age of 96.[8]
