The Commission on Higher Education, or CHEd, has decried the “enrolment
by injunction” tactic of institutions that were ordered last year to
close down programmes that did not meet government quality standards,
writes Dona Z Pazzibugan for Philippine Daily Inquirer.
CHEd Legal Services Director Carmelita Yadao-Sison said these institutions had been defying CHEd and accepting students for banned programmes by getting injunctions from the trial courts. Sison said a trial court’s injunction order would defeat CHEd’s efforts to weed out college programmes that have not been offering quality education while making money from students.
In October 2011, CHEd ordered the closure of all courses of the International Academy of Management and Economics (IAME); two maritime courses of PMI Colleges in its Manila and Quezon City campuses; as well as five baccalaureate programmes and a masters programme at Harvardian College in San Fernando City. Sison said IAME still accepted foreign students and had managed to operate even after the Supreme Court and the Office of the President dismissed an appeal by IAME President Emmanuel Santos.
