Typology of Higher Education in the Philippines
I. Background of the issue. a. Why is there a need to have a typology of HEI’s in the Philippines? The typology is a system for classifying higher education institutions that shall guide policy makers in rationalizing distribution and operation of higher education institutions (HEIs) in the Philippines.
More particularly, typology is aimed at determining the number and distribution of different types of HEIs in the country as well as, per region and province; guide researchers, students, policy- or decision-makers in analyzing and making decisions regarding the higher education sector; and provide basis for the rationalizing standards, for allocating resources and for targeting development interventions for different types of HEIs (Teodoro, 2010).
b. Discuss the guiding principles in the typology of HEIs in the Philippines as proposed by Dr. Bernardo?
Proposed typology of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the Philippines by Dr. Bernardo.
1. Research University 2. Specialized Research University 3. Teaching University 4. Specialized College 5. Associate College
According to Dr. Bernardo institutions of higher learning shall be classified on the basis of the following features:
1. Level of higher education programs - to distinguish institutions that have the capability to offer higher education programs beyond the baccalaureate from those that offer mostly baccalaureate programs and concentrate on the regular higher education function of instruction.
2. Breadth of educational programs and services – the number of programs and disciplines offered.
3. Number of students per program and level
4. Capability or qualification of faculty as indicated by the highest degree earned by the faculty.
5. Productivity of the faculty – as indicated by the number of national and/or international publications.
