Commission on Higher Education

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) plays a central role in regulating and improving the quality of higher education in the Philippines, including efforts to combat diploma mills and ensure the legitimacy of academic programs. It collaborates with government agencies to address challenges in education, such as learning losses and workforce readiness, and manages significant funding allocations for state universities and colleges. CHED also works to enhance graduate employability and align education policies with national development goals.
