Faculty Development Program

The quality of education depends largely on the qualifications and competencies of the faculty. In view of the faculty’s vital role in influencing education outcomes, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) requires that teachers at higher education level must have at least masters degree in the fields in which they teach.

Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation

(ETEEAP)

The ETEEAP is a comprehensive educational assessment program at the tertiary level that recognizes, accredits and gives equivalencies to knowledge, skills, attitudes and values gained by individuals from relevant work. It is implemented through deputized higher education institutions that shall award the appropriate college degree.

Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation

(ETEEAP)

Beneficiaries must be Filipinos who are at least high school graduates. They must have worked for at least five years in the field or industry related to the academic program they are obtaining an equivalency. They must also be able to show proof of proficiency, capability and thorough knowledge in the field applied for equivalency.

Student Financial Assistance Programs (StuFAPs)

Aimed at providing access to quality higher education among poor but deserving students, STUFAPs consist of:

(1) scholarships - including the Full Merit, One-Town-One-Scholar (OTOS) and Half Merit programs, the beneficiaries of which are selected on the basis of their performance in qualifying examinations;

(2) Grants-in-Aid-Tulong-Dunong including: Study Grant Program for Solo Parents and their Dependents, DND-CHED-PASUC Study Grant, OPAPP-CHED Study Grant Program for Rebel Returnees, and CHED Special Study Grant Programs for Senate and House of representatives, which are meant for the students from poor families, indigenous communities, and persons with disabilities; and
