Private Higher Education Institutions

Private higher education institutions are established under the Corporation Code and are governed by special laws and general provisions of this Code. Those under non-sectarian are duly incorporated, owned and operated by private entities that are not affiliated to any religious organization while those under sectarian are usually non-stock, non profit, duly incorporated, owned and operated by a religious organization.

Generally, private higher education institutions are covered by the policies and standards set by the Commission on Higher Education in terms of course offerings, curriculum, and administration and faculty academic qualifications, among others. The heads of private higher education institutions usually manage the internal organization of private higher education institutions and implement the policies and standards formulated by the CHED.

A number of private higher education institutions are granted autonomy or deregulated status in recognition of their committed service through quality education, research, and extension work. CMO. 32. S. 2001 (Grant of Autonomy and Deregulated Status to Selected Higher Education Institutions with Benefits Accruing Thereto)

Public Higher Education Institutions

The State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) are chartered public higher education institutions established by law, administered and financially subsidized by the government. The Local Colleges and Universities (LCUs) are those established by the local government through resolutions or ordinance. They are financially supported by the local government concerned. The CHED Supervised Higher Education Institutions (CSIs) are non-chartered public post-secondary education institutions established by law, administered, supervised and financially supported by the government. Other Government Schools (OGS) are public secondary and post-secondary education institutions usually a technical-vocational education institution that offer higher education programs. Special HEIs are directly under the government agency stipulated in the law that created them. They provide specialized training in areas such as military science and national defense.

The SUCs have their own charters. The board of regents for state universities and a board of trustees for state colleges maintain the formulation and approval of policies, rules and standards in public institutions. The Chairman of the CHED heads these boards. However, CHED Order No. 31 series of 2001 of the Commission en banc has also authorized the CHED Commissioners to head the board of trustees or board of regents of SUCs. Implementation of policies and management are vested on the president, staff, and support units of the public higher education institutions.
