[Title] => Autonomy granted to 30 private schools
[Summary] => Thirty private schools nationwide can now offer new courses without first seeking a government permit after they were granted autonomy by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).
CHED chairwoman Dr. Ester Garcia said the move was meant to provide a level playing field for both private and public colleges and universities, as well as improve the country’s educational system.
"We are giving them autonomy because we want them to enrich their programs even more. We also want to inspire other schools to improve their performance," Garcia said.
