Goals of ALS:
A. Promote relevant and quality higher education (i.e. higher education institutions and
programs are at par with international standards and graduates and professionals are
highly competent and recognized in the international arena);
B. Ensure that quality higher education is accessible to all who seek it particularly those
who may not be able to afford it;
C. Guarantee and protect academic freedom for continuing intellectual growth,
advancement of learning and research, development of responsible and effective
leadership, education of high level professionals, and enrichment of historical and
cultural heritages; and
D. Commit to moral ascendancy that eradicates corrupt practices, institutionalizes
transparency and accountability and encourages participatory governance in the
Commission and the sub-sector.
As provided for under Section 8 of Republic Act (R.A.) No. 7722, the Commission on
Higher Education shall have the following powers and functions:
Mission
TESDA sets direction, promulgates relevant standards, and
implements programs geared towards a quality-assured and inclusive
technical education and skills development and certification system.
Values Statement
We believe in demonstrated competence, institutional integrity,
personal commitment, culture of innovativeness and a deep sense of
nationalism.
The Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority (TESDA) was established through the
enactment of Republic Act No. 7796 otherwise known as
the "Technical Education and Skills Development Act of
1994", which was signed into law by President Fidel V.
Ramos on August 25, 1994. This Act aims to encourage
the full participation of and mobilize the industry, labor,
local government units and technical-vocational
institutions in the skills development of the country's
human resources.
The merging of the National Manpower and
Youth Council (NMYC) of the Department of
Labor and Employment (DOLE). The Bureau of
Technical and Vocational Education (BTVE) of
the Department of Education, Culture and
Sports (DECS), and The Apprenticeship Program
of the Bureau of Local Employment (BLE) of
the DOLE gave birth to TESDA.
The fusion of the above offices was one of the key
recommendations of the 1991 Report of the Congressional
Commission on Education, which undertook a national review of
the state of Philippine education and manpower development. It
was meant to reduce overlapping in skills development activities
initiated by various public and private sector agencies, and to
provide national directions for the country's technical-vocational
education and training (TVET) system. Hence, a major thrust of
TESDA is the formulation of a comprehensive development plan
for middle-level manpower based on the National Technical
Education and Skills Development Plan. This plan shall provide
for a reformed industry-based training program that includes
apprenticeship, dual training system and other similar schemes.
TESDA is mandated to:
