Education agencies, PRC form body to address ‘diploma mills’
The Department of Education (DepEd), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), and Teacher Education Council (TEC) have launched a unified system to address "diploma mills" and combat fraudulent credentials.
A joint memorandum circular (JMC) has been signed, establishing the Online National Registry of recognized undergraduate and graduate programs.
Only programs listed on the Philippine Teacher Education Registry will be considered legitimate for professional licensure examinations, government employment, and career advancement.
This initiative grants CHED and PRC full authority to regulate program quality and counter fraudulent programs across the Philippine higher education system.
The registry will also include licensure exam results and quality indicators like Centers of Excellence and Levels of Accreditation to guide the public.
