Rationale
Compared to higher education, basic
educationyields greater social returns, and
its provision is the more fundamental duty of
the state
With K-12, current shortages (classrooms,
textbooks, teachers, etc) and demand for
international comparability, basic education
will be prioritized in allocation of government
resources
Private sector will continue to contribute
significantly to higher education delivery
Objective
General:
(with whatever modest resources generated)
maximize public higher education's
contribution towards producing competent
high level professionals and generating
knowledge and technologies for national
development and competitiveness

Objectives
Specific:
1. To rationalize the public higher education
system, improve its internal and external
efficiency, optimize resource utilization and
maximize resource generation;
2. To improve quality and standards of higher
education raise the level of educational outcomes
and increase the social relevance of its
developmental functions; and
3. To expand access to quality higher education
among lower income and disadvantaged groups
Public Higher Education Reform Overall Framework
Milestones
Objective 1. Improve Efficiency

Initiatives Milestones
1. Rationalization of
SUCs distribution and
growth
GIS based map of HEIs and
programs completed by 2011, and
continuously updated thereafter
Blueprint for public HEI system
developed by 2012
Three (3) RUS and two (2)
specialized HEIs pilot tested from
2012 to 2016: RUS bill in process
during Plan period
Milestones
Objective 1. Improve Efficiency

Initiatives Milestones
2. Rationalization of
programs
Typology framework developed by
2011 and initially implemented in
2012, and all SUCs and LUCs
classified by 2013
SUCs programs outside mandates,
duplicative and inefficient identified by
2011, 30% ordered for phase out/closure
by 2012 and 100% in 2013-2016*
New academic programs developed and
launched in critical high level professional
disciplines, e.g. geology, meteorology by
2013
*Total number of SUCs programs = 12,246 higher education + 1200 preschool, elem, H.S. & TechVoc
Milestones
Objective 1. Improve Efficiency
Initiatives Milestones
3. Rationalization of
resources
Generic socialized tuition fee scheme
designed by 2013, and piloted in 5 SUCs in
2014-2016
Normative funding formula revised by 2012,
revised formula applied on 100% of SUCs
MOOE and simulated on PS by 2013, then
fully applied on both MOOE and PS by 2016
22 Leading SUCs with viable IGPs by 2013,
with 50% of their budget accounted for by
internally generated income by 2016
Plan for digitization and automation
formulated by 2012, fully implemented in
accordance with GIFMIS in 20% of SUCs by
2014, in all SUCs by 2016
Milestones
Objective 2. Upgrade quality
Initiatives Milestones
4. Quality assurance
of SUCs/LUCs
All authorized unaccredited SUCs programs
evaluated by 2012; 20% substandard and
non-performing programs closed or phased
out in 2012 and 80% from 2013 to 2016
Improved performance of SUCs graduates in
licensure examinations in priority disciplines
(within their mandates) to 50% passing by
2016*
85 SUCs programs supported for
accreditation in 2012, and 340 programs from
2013 to 2016
5. Faculty
development
500 SUC faculty scholars supported in 2012
and 2000 from 2013 to 2016**
*Baseline 2010 = 31%
**15,566 SUCs faculty (41.9%) w/o grad deg in 2010-2011; 22,966 or 58% w/ grad deg (total 39,532); target will increase to 64.4%
Milestones
Objective 2. Upgrade quality
Initiatives Milestones

SUCs to
International
Standards
5 R&D Centers established in SUCs and
supported in 2012, and 10 from 2013 to 2016
15 CHED-funded SUCs R&D projects
implemented in 2012, and 30 during 2013-
2016

world by 2016
Milestones
Objective 3. Enhance access
Initiatives Milestones
7. Modernizing
developing
SUCs
89 developing SUCs outside highly
urbanized areas supported
8. STUFAPs Harmonized/integrated scheme of
STUFAPs instituted through
intergovernment/agency collaboration
11,360 STUFAP beneficiaries in SUCs in
2012 and 44,000 from 2013-2016, from
poor and disadvantaged families,
