Education is the core value of

Philippine society and family

life. The best gift any family can

give to a child, and the best any

nation can give to its people is

access to a good education.

The Present Post-SecondaryEducational System

A review of international education systems shows thatmost educational systems differentiate between basiceducation and pre-university education. In most

countries, basic education is 9 or 10 years (up to age 16)and 12 years in other countries.

CAN WE DO SOMETHING

ABOUT IT ?


12/53

OUR DEGREE PROGRAMS STARTAFTER GRADE 10. THE FIRSTTWO (2) YEARS OF COLLEGE ARE

DEVOTED TO GENERAL

EDUCATION COURSES WHICH INOTHER COUNTRIES ARE

COVERED IN GRADES 11 AND

12.


13/53

AS A RESULT, OUR FOUR (4)YEARS BACHELOR DEGREEPROGRAMS HAVE TWO (2)

YEARS ONLY OF PROFESSIONALCOURSES. WHILE IN EUROPETHEY ARE THREE (3) YEARS.


14/53

TO COVER ALL THE IMPORTANTPROFESSIONAL COURSES, THE

LAST TWO (2) YEARS OF

COLLEGE ARE CRAMMED WITHTOO MANY COURSES, WHICHARE NOT CONDUCIVE TO

EFFECTIVE TEACHING-LEARNINGPROCESSES.


15/53

FOR EXAMPLE, BS NURSINGTAKES FOUR (4) YEARS AND

THREE (3) SUMMERS TO

COMPLETE. THE SAME IS TRUEWITH BS EDUCATION(ELEMENTARY AND

SECONDARY).


16/53

THUS, OUR GRADUATES AREINADEQUATELY PREPARED AND

RESULTS TO POOR

PERFORMANCE IN THELICENSURE EXAMINATION.


17/53

WHEN ONE EXAMINES THE COSTOF THE OVER CROWDED FOUR-YEAR (4-YEAR) CURRICULUM

AND A FIVE-YEAR (5-YEAR)CURRICULUM, THE COST IS

ALMOST THE SAME.


18/53

BY 2015, THE 10 ASEAN COUNTRIESWILL OPEN THEIR BORDERS AND BY

2020, THE PHILIPPINES WILL JOINTHE APEC TRADE REGIME. BEFORETHESE TWO EVENTS HAPPEN WE

HAVE TO PREPARE OUR GRADUATESTO BE GLOBALLY COMPETITIVE.

THERE ARE NO OTHERALTERNATIVES BUT TO ALIGN OUR

DEGREE PROGRAMS WITH THOSE OFOTHER COUNTRIES.


19/53

SOON MUTUAL RECOGNITION OF

QUALIFICATIONS AND DEGREESWILL BE UNDERTAKEN BYASEAN COUNTRIES AND THEREST OF THE ASIA-PACIFIC

REGION. THUS, HEIs MUSTPREPARE FOR IT NOW. THE

QUALIFICATIONS OF OUR

GRADUATES MUST BEIMPROVED TO MEET OURDEVELOPMENT GOALS.

CHED IS PRESENTLY STUDYING

THIS MATTER AND CONDUCTING

CONSULTATIONS COVERING

SEVENTEEN (17) REGIONSNATIONWIDE TO GET FEEDBACK

FROM THE STAKEHOLDERS.BEFORE CURRICULAR REFORMS

ARE FINALIZED AND

INTRODUCED, WE SHALLCONDUCT PUBLIC HEARINGS IN
