CHEDRO IX

CHED Regional Office 9 celebrates the 29th CHED Founding Anniversary and 3rd Higher Education Week through a Service and Information Caravan, the CHED on Wheels! The regional theme for this year is "Promoting Collaboration and Quality Education through Regional Cascading of the Philippine Qualifications Framework (PQF) and Philippine Credit Transfer System (PCTS) in the Context of Quality Assurance in Higher Education."

From 15-19 May 2023, with the CHED Bus, the CHED Services and Information Caravan started in Zamboanga City moving towards to Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay, Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte, celebrating its founding anniversary in Dapitan City and culminating in Pagadian City. Together with Higher Education Institutions in the region, the celebration created an avenue for the commission to spread information regarding the Philippine Credit Transfer System, Philippine Qualifications Framework and different programs of the commission coupled with the onsite services on scholarship programs, SIKAP, CAV and other frontline services.

The Commission on Higher Education-UniFAST reiterates its warning against social media sites and individuals giving out false information about financial assistance and scholarships offered by CHED-UniFAST, especially about the Tertiary Education Subsidy program.

The TES is not a scholarship but a grant-in-aid program by the government that follows a prioritization scheme to qualify as a grantee. It is SUBJECT TO THE AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS.
