CHED Chairperson and Teacher Education Council (TEC) Vice Chairperson Shirley C. Agrupis reaffirmed the governmentโ€™s commitment to Filipino teachers at the TECโ€™s National Teacherโ€™s Month 2026 celebration at the Manila Hotel. She emphasized that celebrating what teachers have achieved must go hand in hand with building the systems that help them achieve move.

That commitment is taking concrete form. Fifteen outstanding teachers were recognized in the first TEC Teachers Awards, while 13 schools and universities were named the countryโ€™s first Teacher Education Centers of Excellence. Another 720 new scholars began their teacher education with full support under the P103.32-million Teacher Education Scholarship Program, while President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. launched the MyTEC Portal, a digital platform designed to support teachers through their careers.

CHED is closing a major funding gap in Free Higher Education, covering P9.753 billion in validated deficiencies of 104 state universities and colleges (SUCs) for Academic Years 2022-2023 to 2024-2025.

The Commission, with Chairperson Shirley C. Agrupis at the helm, conducted todayโ€™s Affirmation of Compliance and Commitment to Settle the Free Higher Education Deficiency at the House of Representatives, joined by House Speaker Faustino โ€œBojieโ€ Dy III (6th District, Isabela), Majority Leader Ferdinand Alexander โ€œSandroโ€ Marcos III (1st District, Ilocos Norte), Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand โ€œDinandโ€ Hernandez (2nd District, South Cotabato), and House Committee on Appropriations Chair Mikaela Angela โ€œMikaโ€ Suansing (1st District, Nueva Ecija), together with SUC leaders from across the country. The gathering marked the national governmentโ€™s action to address costs previously absorbed by SUCs in delivering Free Higher Education.

The Department of Budget and Management released the funding to CHED in August. To date, P6.6 billion has already been disbursed to SUCs, with the remaining payments being processed as institutions complete the necessary requirements.

Representing SUCs across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, checks were presented to the University of the Philippines System, Eastern Visayas State University, and the University of Southeastern Philippines.

Settling these deficiencies supports both sides of Free Higher Education: students continue to benefit from free tuition and other school fees, while SUCs recover costs they had absorbed in delivering these benefits. This helps relieve pressure on university resources and strengthens the sustainability of Free Higher Education.

Beyond clearing the existing gap, CHED is working with Congress to ensure that future Free Higher Education requirements are adequately provided for in the annual national budget โ€“ helping prevent similar deficiencies from accumulating again.

For CHED, Free Higher Education must remain both accessible to students and sustainable for the institutions that deliver it.

On September 4, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. signed Republic Act No. 12325, a measure that enhances the implementation of the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act (RA 10931).

The new law introduces key improvements aimed at helping more students access, continue, and complete their tertiary education. Among its provisions are the expansion of the Tertiary Education Subsidy (TES), additional support for internship and licensure-related expenses, enhanced assistance for students with disabilities, and regular reviews of grant amounts to keep pace with rising education costs.

The law also strengthens mechanisms to ensure that educational assistance reaches students from poor and disadvantaged families, including qualified beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps).

As President Marcos emphasized, expanding access to education is not only about opening doors to schoolsโ€”it is also about helping learners stay in school and succeed.

The terms grantee and scholar are often used interchangeably, but they may have different meanings depending on the program.

In UniFAST programs such as the Tertiary Education Subsidy (TES) and Tulong Dunong Program (TDP), beneficiaries are commonly referred to as grantees because they receive government-funded educational assistance through grant programs.

Understanding these terms can help students better navigate the various forms of financial assistance available for tertiary education.
