Integrate with accredited schools or risk closure, CHED warns
MANILA
Nursing review centers have been warned to integrate with schools to prevent
a repeat of cheating in the 2006 board examinations.
The Commission on Higher Education said it will not extend the May deadline
for review centers to comply.
Deputy executive director Julito Vitriolo gave the warning after receiving a
position paper from a parents’ group expressing their apprehension over the
apparent lack of accredited and integrated school-based review centers with
permit.

Vitriolo said that their main concern is guiding students and parents in
enrolling in authorized review centers.
“We want to make sure that these review centers are up to international
standards and avoid embarrassing incidents,” Vitriolo said his office will not
hesitate to close review centers that fail to comply.
“We strongly suggest that they complete the requirements and act now.
Otherwise, last-minute applications may not be processed on time,” he said.
President Arroyo last year signed an executive order giving the CHED
oversight over review centers.
The order also decreed that only accredited higher educational institutions
may qualify to operate review centers.
Existing review centers were given one year from November 2006 to integrate
with school-based review centers. The deadline was extended to May this
year.
