HE commission backs president’s curriculum review ‘desire’

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) is supporting the aspiration of President Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos to review the whole curriculum to solve the problem of a mismatch between skills and jobs, its chairperson Prospero De Vera III said Wednesday 13 July, writes Joviland Rita for GMA News.

In a press conference, De Vera said the CHED has been constantly conducting reviews on the tertiary education curriculum. “The commission fully supports the statement and the desire of President Marcos to review the curriculum because we have been reviewing it consistently,” he said.

Likewise, De Vera said that some degree programmes need continuous review, considering the significant shifts in related markets and developments in technology. Students would be left behind if curricula did not match with new demands, he pointed out.
