The Language Policy of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED)

- This Act which is known as the “Higher Education Act of 1994” provides that the CHED shall be
independent and separate from the DECS and attached to the Office of the President for administrative
purposes only. The law specifies that CHED is responsible for regulating and supervising both public and
private higher education institutions, as well as degree-granting programs in post-secondary educational
institutions.

This policy is directed towards institutions of higher education, both public and private, as well as
degree-granting programs in post-secondary educational institutions. It encompasses the entire
spectrum of tertiary education in the Philippines.

The creation of CHED and the enactment of the Higher Education Act of 1994 were responses to the
need for an independent body dedicated to overseeing and enhancing the quality of higher education in
the Philippines. The is aimed to address the changing demands of the next millennium by empowering
CHED to update the General Education Curriculum (GEC) for tertiary courses leading to initial bachelor's
degrees.

The requirements of the new GEC are embodied in the CHED Memorandum Order (CMO) No. 59, s.
1996. Listed under miscellaneous of this CMO is its language policy which is as follows: In consonance
with the Bilingual Education Policy underlined in DECS Order No. 52, Series of 1987, the following are the
guidelines vis-a-vis medium of instruction, to wit:

▪Language courses, whether Filipino or English, should be taught in that language.

▪At the discretion of the HEI, Literature subjects may be taught in Filipino, English or any other language
as long as there are enough instructional materials for the same and both students and
instructors/professors are competent in the language.

▪Courses in the Humanities and Social Sciences should preferably be taught in Filipino.
