Education commission to close subpar nursing schools
March 28, 2011
ANGELES CITY — Nursing schools in Central Luzon (CL) and the whole country failing to achieve satisfactory passing performance and provide adequate facilities to their students will soon face closure.
Commission on Higher Education (Ched) Commissioner Nona Rocafort, in an interview, said the commission is now looking not just on the ability of nursing schools to produce graduates that can pass the board exams, but also the various requirements on facilities and the quality of education.
“This is a wake-up call for nursing schools in the country to keep their standards at par with those prescribed by the commission,” Rocafort told Sun.Star Pampanga.
The commissioner also stressed that around 30 schools may even face closure if they do not meet standards as assessed by evaluation teams.
Ricafort said the Ched will be holding public hearings to give nursing schools under question a chance to defend their current performance and explain the status of their facilities and requirements.
The Ched, she said, has also been strictly implementing Memorandum Order (CMO) No. 32, banning public and private institutions from offering new undergraduate and graduate programs in business administration, nursing, teacher education, hotel and restaurant management, and information technology education, effective school year 2011-2012.
Ched said the proliferation of schools offering programs in these fields has resulted in the deterioration of skills of their graduates. The moratorium covers planning to offer new courses in the above-mentioned fields but not those already offering courses under the programs.
Ricafort said the Ched has yet to lift its existing moratorium last year prohibiting the establishment of new colleges and universities and the conversation of new state colleges and universities.
“The Commission is concentrating on improving what we have and in ensuring that standards are met. We do not need diploma mills, but schools that compete for standards and the quality of graduates that they produce,” Ricafort said.
The move is also seen as an effective step in mitigating the oversupply of graduates on the said courses.
