The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) was created on May 18, 1994 through the passage of Republic Act No. 7722, or the Higher Education Act of 1994. The creation of CHED was part of a broad agenda of reforms on the country’s education system outlined by the Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM) in 1992. Part of the reforms was the trifocalization of the education sector into three governing bodies: the CHED for tertiary and graduate education, the Department of Education (DepEd) for basic education and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) for technical-vocational and middle-level education.

CEBU CITY — The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) is strengthening support for local colleges to offer programs responsive to community needs, prepare students for employment, and expand learning opportunities closer to home under its ACHIEVE Agenda 2030.

More than 170 local college presidents, administrators, and representatives from Visayas and Mindanao gathered for the first day of the Local Colleges (LC) Visioning Summit on October 19, 2026, at the University of the Philippines Cebu. By aligning academic programs with local workforce needs, colleges can better prepare students for employment while helping address the demand for professionals and skilled workers in local businesses and public services.

The effort supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s call for every Filipino family to have a college or technical-vocational graduate by bringing quality education closer to communities.
