Good morning! We’re here at the UP Diliman Quezon Hall, where students and educators gather to oppose Commission on Higher Education’s proposed reframed general education curriculum.

They will be marching to CHED’s central office later to file their petition against the proposal.

Teachers, groups ask CHED to junk proposed reframed GE

Teachers, students, and advocacy groups filed their petitions and position papers with the Commission on Higher Education on Tuesday, May 12, opposing the proposed reframed general education curriculum.

Their demands have been summarized to 13 points, including junking the draft proposal and postpone the pilot testing of the new GE curriculum amid its ongoing review.

The heavily criticized plan would reduce GE units to 18 from 36. @here

JUST IN: The Commission on Higher Education will not conduct a pilot implementation of the proposed reframed general education curriculum this coming school year 2026 to 2027.

CHED previously presented a draft plan that would significantly cut GE units to 18, which faced criticism from several universities, faculty groups, students, and advocacy groups.

CHED Chairperson Shirley Agrupis says an inter-agency technical working group will be studying all petitions and position papers regarding the proposal.

CHED eyes the pilot implementation by 2028. @here
