Present Status
“deteriorating quality that has led to skills-jobs mismatch, low productivity in research and development,
and a deficient science and innovation culture” is among the persistent issues in many colleges and
universities. -former CHED Chairperson Dr. Patricia Licuanan (2017)

The country immediately opted for online learning. Some teachers recorded and uploaded their
lessons online for the students to access and some were even more innovative … but a greater majority
of teachers are not prepared to deal with online education. After three days of the national
memorandum for alternative delivery, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) suspended the
online form of instruction since there was an increase in the number of the students, including teachers
who clamoured against the online mode of learning due to different factors. The truth is, numerous
higher education institutions, both private and state colleges and universities in the Philippines are not
prepared to implement this online system.
