The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) was created through Republic Act 7722
otherwise known as the Higher Education Act of 1994. Consistent with the governmentâs
position of making education the central strategy for poverty reduction, the CHED shall
pursue the following objectives: (a) relevant and quality higher education within an
international milieu; (b) accessible and affordable higher education programs; (c) resolute
academic freedom to promote intellectual growth, learning, research and development to
produce high quality leaders and professionals; and (d) moral ascendancy for better
governance within its ranks and the entire higher education system.

Higher Education Budget.  The total 2015 proposed budget for Social Services will
amount to P938.8 billion of which P450.2 billion (48.0%) is for Education, Culture and
Manpower Development.  The proposed 2015 budget of CHED at P3.6 billion accounts for
0.4% of Social Services budget.  On the other hand, the 2015 proposed budget for State
Universities and Colleges (SUCs) amounting to P43.3 billion is roughly 4.6% of total Social
Services budget (Table 1).

On the aggregate, higher education budget for 2015 shall increase by 1.8% from the 2014
level although this increase is much lower from the 2013-2014 increase of 14.3%.  While
CHED experienced a substantial increase of 165.2% in 2013-2014, its proposed budget for
2015 implies a 55.6% decline from 2014.  Meanwhile, SUCsâ proposal for 2015 shall expand
higher education institutionsâ (HEIs) budget by 13.8%, a significant increase from 2013-2014
expansion of 2.1% (Table 1).
