“Patuloy kaming makikiisa sa Kagawaran ng Edukasyon sa paglutas ng krisis sa edukasyon (We will continue to collaborate with the Department of Education in addressing the education crisis),” CHED Chairman Prospero De Vera III said in a statement issued Dec. 6.

CHED issued the statement following the release of the recent 2022 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) report.

Working closely with DepEd

Following the 2022 PISA results, CHED expressed its appreciation to Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte for “articulating a whole-of-country perspective” in addressing the outcomes and implications of the 2022 PISA.

Duterte, during the PISA national forum, noted that the 2022 PISA results “may bear uncomfortable truth” as a significant majority of boys and girls “fall below the proficiency level required for full participation in society and contributing to nation-building.”

Despite this, Duterte expressed confidence that learning outcomes will improve when all education stakeholders work together for a common goal: uplifting the quality of education in the country.

CHED, on its part, reiterated its commitment to work with the DepEd “more closely” to not only improve Filipino learners’ performance in international large-scale assessments (ILSAs).

More importantly, CHED said that “we want to realize” the national education vision laid out in the Philippine Development Plan (2023-2028) to “ensure that all Filipinos are able to realize their full potential to keep pace with the envisioned socioeconomic transformation.”

Related to this, De Vera said that CHED will engage Centers of Development (COD) and Centers of Excellence (COEs) in Teacher Education to “study further the details of the country report in the hope of framing comprehensive solutions for consideration of the DepEd.”

CHED said that it will also expand the Technical Panel for Teacher Education (TPTE) to include DepEd curriculum development and learner assessment specialists along with other leaders in education transformation to address quality preservice teacher education.

“We shall also issue through the expanded TPTE a special learning module to be used by teacher education institutions (TEIs) on the nature and implications of international large-scale assessments (ILSAs) in building a culture of accountability for learning outcomes,” De Vera explained.

Moreover, CHED also created a Technical Working Group and developed guidelines for the monitoring and evaluation process that will lead to the phasing out of teacher education degree programs in poor-performing TEIs in “order to address teacher quality issues that ultimately influence learning outcomes.”
