5 courses for Consolacion college

CEBU, Philippines – The Commission on Higher Education in Central Visayas has authorized the Community College in Consolacion town to operate and offer five courses starting this second semester for school year 2010 to 2011.

CHED 7 granted the authority last October 29 after the college complied with all the requirements. The authority was signed by Amelia Biglete, Director IV of CHED 7.

Consolacion Mayor Teresa Alegado, chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Consolacion Community College made the official announcement the other day in a meeting with the Board and school officials.

Alegado said she made representation to CHED 7 after the college was denied permit when it opened last June during the term of then mayor Avelino Gungob, Sr. CHED-7 Order No. 7, Series of 2010, states that Consolacion Community College in Consolacion, Cebu may offer Bachelor of Elementary Education, Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Bachelor of Secondary Education.

Alegado, however, said that there is a need for the Municipal Council to amend the ordinance that created the college, especially the provision on the appointment of officials of the school, to usher in better administration.

Vice Mayor Aurelio Damole, said the proposed amendments are now the subject of study by the committee on education. (FREEMAN)
