Last month, CHED closed down six law schools after failing to have their graduates passed the bar examinations administered by the Supreme Court (SC).
The six were the Eastern Samar State University, Polytechnic College of La Union, Samar College, Ramon Mag-saysay Technological University, Southern Bicol College and Abra Valley College. They were identified to have consistently rated zero in Bar exams in the past 10 years (1999-2009).
Five others have voluntarily closed down their law offerings, CHED says.
Earlier, Angeles said that in a seven-year period (2001-2008) the number of flunkers in PRC-administered licensure exams exceeded the number of board passers by as much as 1.42 million or about 64 percent.
Only 808, 884 (36.35 percent) out of the 2, 225, 571 examinees for the period has passed the test.
The problem, he said was compounded by the fact that of the existing 1, 741 HEI’s in the country, only 50 or 3 percent had good facilities.* (PNA)
