CHED given supervisory powers over review centers
CHED given supervisory powers over review centers
President Arroyo has placed all review centers nationwide under the supervision of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), ABS-CBN reported Wednesday.
Malacañan released Executive Order 566, which was signed September 8, following reports of a leakage in the 2006 Nursing Licensure Examination.
The presidential order directs CHED to formulate a framework for the regulation of review centers including standards and guidelines for the establishment, operation and accreditation of review centers.
Section 4 of the EO states: "No review center or similar entities shall be established and/or operate review classes without the favorable expressed endorsement of the CHED and without the issuance of the necessary permits or authoritizations to conduct review classes."
The EO also ordered CHED to conduct regular performance evaluations of review centers and to report the results to the Office of the President.
Meanwhile, the Office of the Ombudsman is now conducting preliminary investigation of two officials of the Board of Nursing who allegedly leaked the test questions and answers.
The Ombudsman is also set to file charges against review centers who benefited from the leakage.
