Description
Summary:Quality education is seen as an important contributor to the country’s economic development. The role of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in promoting this quality education is embodied in its legal mandate. As a government agency mandated to ensure that the delivery of quality education is observed by schools of higher learning to ultimately attain the national development goals and improve the economic condition of the Philippines, CHED was given enough authorities to perform its bi-focal roles of being regulatory or developmental. Acknowledging the significance of accreditation in promoting quality education, quality assurance activities and the different accrediting bodies recognized by CHED are also presented in this paper. Further, this study also identified different role indicators that were used in the development of an instrument that can be used to hasten the classification process of the policies and guidelines issued by CHED through its CHED Memorandum Orders (CMOs). Acknowledging the limitation that this paper analyzed only the CMOs issued from 2013 to 2017, this study recommends further analysis of other CMOs issued in the past or will be issued in the future so that CHED’s performance can be gauged more appropriately.
