Country Education Partnership (CEP), how Filipino qualifications are allocated points under SkillSelect 2025 Program.
The Country Education Partnership (CEP) is an organization focused on advancing education systems in various countries, including the Philippines. It works with government bodies such as the Department of Education in the Philippines, educational institutions in the Philippines, and other stakeholders such as Philippine Regulation Commission (PRC) in the Philippines to improve the quality of education and professional standards through targeted interventions, support programs, and partnerships.
Note: The Department of Education is the executive department of the Philippine government responsible for ensuring access to, promoting equity in, and improving the quality of basic education. It is the main agency tasked to manage and govern the Philippine system of basic education.
Note: The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC/Commission) is the licensing and regulatory agency of the national government for the practice of regulated professions.
It was first created as a national government agency by Presidential Decree (P.D.) No. 223 dated June 22, 1973, signed by then President Ferdinand E. Marcos, mandated to enforce the laws regulating the various professions. It was previously called the Office of the Board of Examiners, which was created by Republic Act No. 546 on June 17, 1950, under the aegis of the Civil Service Commission.
The PRC became operational on January 4, 1974. The office was attached to the Office of the President for general direction and coordination. On December 9, 1974, the Implementing Rules and Regulations of P.D. No. 223 were promulgated, paving the way for standardization of rules and procedures for the thirty-three (33) professions then under the CSC.
Historical Background:
CEP was established with the goal of creating sustainable improvements in the education sector, particularly in countries where educational access, equity, and quality were challenges. The organization aims to provide a platform for collaboration and exchange between global educational leaders, policymakers, and practitioners. CEP’s work often includes providing research, frameworks, and advocacy for educational reforms in developing countries, including the Philippines.
In the context of the Philippines, CEP has engaged in various partnerships with the Department of Education (DepEd), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other local bodies to assess, evaluate, and recommend improvements to the country’s education system.
Education System Assessment and Quantification:
The educational system in the Philippines is primarily overseen by the Department of Education (DepEd), but there are also other organizations involved in assessment and improvement efforts, such as CEP and UNICEF. In terms of assessing and quantifying education, CEP uses several methods:
- Data Collection and Analysis:
CEP partners with local agencies to collect educational data, such as school performance metrics, literacy rates, and access to education. The organization analyses this data to identify trends, gaps, and areas for improvement.
- Educational Frameworks:
The organization may adopt frameworks for assessing key areas such as student outcomes, teacher quality, curriculum standards, and infrastructure. This approach helps quantify the strengths and weaknesses in the system.
- International Assessments:
In some cases, CEP may align local assessments with international education benchmarks (e.g., PISA—Programme for International Student Assessment) to measure how the Philippine education system compares globally.
- Community-Based Assessments:
CEP also engages with communities and local educators to gather insights on challenges faced in rural and underserved areas of the Philippines.
