Powers of CHED I. Introduction Under Article XIV of the Constitution of the Philippines specifically under Sec. 1 states that "The State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all." This means that every citizen whether at Level 1, 2 or 3 shall be entitled to quality education and that the government should take actions to ensure that this right from the constitution that is granted to the citizen will not be infringed and that quality education will be provided and accessible to all. To ensure that quality education is given to the citizens of the Philippines, the government had vested its powers to different administrative agency to make sure that this right granted to the citizens will not be infringed. The Department of Education for Culture and Sports (DECS) is an example of an administrative agency that was created to ensure that quality education is given to the citizens at all levels. In 1994, the commission on Higher Education (CHED) was created to govern mainly the higher education or otherwise known as the tertiary education. The Commission is a body independent and separate from the DECS, and attached to the Office of the President for administrative purposes only. Its coverage shall be both public and private institutions of higher education as well as degree-granting programs in all post secondary educational institutions, public and private. As a Commission created to govern the higher education, it follows the mission of "gearing higher education towards the pursuit of better quality of life for all Filipinos by emphasizing the acquisition of knowledge and formation of those skil... ... middle of paper ... ...ic of the Philippines explained.

The 1944 Act abolished the Board of Education replacing it with a central authority with its own Ministry of Education. The independence of Local Education Authorities (LEAs) was therefore under the control and direction of the Minister, as "the central government decided national policy while LEAs were to provide the schools" (Gosden, 1983:3). As a result of these changes, "there was more unity and standardisation in the national education service" (Dunford and Sharp, 1990:18). Changes in local administration were also made in the 1944 Act, and as a result, all secondary schools were required to have governing bodies a...
United States Constitution plays a major role in the management and operation of public schools. The management and operation of public schools fall under state according to the United States Constitution, article of the Tenth Amendment, which it affirms “the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people” (U.S. Const. amend. X). Even though this particular amendment does not solely express the states to assume the accountability for offering education; however, its result has been no less. A number of state constitutions identify in detail the arrangement for coordinating and continuing a system of public education while others simply recognize the responsibility and the state legislature has the author...

The Constitution sets up the government in the United States of America. This is split into three branches: Congress, which is the Legislative, the President also known as Executive and the Supreme Courts also known as the judicial. Each branch has its own power and structure.
Education is an expression that is used to comprehensively describe the system of processes involved in providing and supporting the development of knowledge, skills and conclusions by a student or a group of students. In fact, the processes for which an individual is responsible define each position in education from a student to a manager. Educational processes include teaching and learning, research and development, curriculum design, training and scheduling, program and administration courses, examination and results, rewarding and awarding diplomas, etc. It is certain that the challenge for education administrators, faculties and staff is to accept the need to improve the processes and benefits

Free education allows everyone to study but with low intensity or levels of education. For example, governments with low incomes would not have enough money to employ professional teachers or provide students with all the technological equipment necessary in their studies; it is too expensive. In addition, with free education, the number of students will be impressive. It is important to emphasize that education is not the only responsibility that governments have. They also economically support other public institutions. According to OECD (2008), the major challenge for countries is to secure sufficient funding levels to enable tertiary education institutions to meet the growing expectations of society and respond to the growing demand by students. However, education without cost allows people the same rights and opportunities necessary to the development of an educated society with moral and ethical
Education Law is the area of law that relates to schools, teachers, and the rights of Americans to a public education, as well as standards for those students who attend private schools. S Woolman & H Botha ‘Limitations’ in S Woolman et al (eds) Constitutional law of South Africa (2 edition, OS, July 2006) chap 34. That said, Enver Motala and Jon Pampallis do stop to note the varying political axes around which education law and policy turn: ‘Law and policy are unequivocal regarding the need to address both the ‘humanistic’ elements of reconstruction and issues which are more narrowly concerned with economic development. Concerns for democracy, redressing historical injustice, ensuring a human rights culture, providing an environment for participation and accountability are matched with concerns for economic regeneration, human resource development, in the international economy’. 1996 (Constitution) provides for the right to education. Of particular importance is that section 29 (1) (a)4 provides a benchmark of education called basic education, an unqualified human right that everyone is entitled to.5 Of particular note is that the term basic education in section 29 (1) (a) is similar to that which was defined by the World Declaration.
