Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers, and to every person who became a safe space, a guiding hand, and a quiet strength to others.

Behind every graduate, every dreamer, every learner, and every success story in higher education, there is often a mother, cheering silently in the background, sacrificing loudly in real life.

Today, CHED joins the nation in celebrating the first teachers we ever had: our mothers.

The Cordillera Administrative Region once again carved its place in the international higher education landscape as its higher education institutions (HEIs) recorded a stronger showing in the World University Rankings for Innovation (WURI) 2026, announced during the 6th Hanseatic League of Universities Annual Conference at National Chi Nan University in Taiwan on May 7, 2026.

From the Global Top 400 in 2025 to the Global Top 500 in 2026, WURI expanded its global recognition by 25%, creating a wider and more competitive field for higher education institutions worldwide. Amid this broader landscape, the Cordillera stood firm and climbed higher, with 16 HEIs in the region securing places in the WURI 2026 rankings. This represents approximately 30.19% of Cordillera HEIs, underscoring the region’s growing contribution to the country’s visibility in international innovation rankings.

More notably, 15 out of the 16 ranked Cordillera HEIs improved their global standing, reflecting a remarkable 93.75% rank-improvement rate among the region’s ranked institutions. This upward movement signals not only numerical progress but also a deepening culture of innovation, responsiveness, sustainability, and global engagement among Cordillera HEIs.

Like the region’s mountain terraces, carved through patience, persistence, and collective labor, the rise of Cordillera HEIs in WURI 2026 reflects years of institutional groundwork. These achievements were shaped by stronger innovation narratives, community-rooted programs, internationalization initiatives, sustainability efforts, and institutional practices that respond to local realities while engaging with global challenges.

For CHED Cordillera, this milestone affirms the region’s continuing pursuit of the Commission’s ACHIEVE Agenda and the continuing impact of the FLAIR-UPLIFT Masterclass, particularly in advancing higher education that is accessible, innovative, inclusive, responsive, and globally competitive. It also highlights the collective work of HEI leaders, faculty, researchers, international relations officers, and stakeholders who continue to bring Cordillera higher education to the world stage.

The WURI 2026 results are more than rankings. They are a testament to the Cordillera spirit: grounded in culture, strengthened by community, and always rising toward greater heights.

From the Cordillera to the world, today, and beyond, the climb continues!

CHED assures stakeholders: GE Reframing remains open for refinement

QUEZON CITY — The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) firmly recognizes and values the strong engagement of stakeholders who participated in the online public hearing on the proposed Reframed General Education (GE) Curriculum last May 5, which drew more than 4,700 viewers via Facebook Live and 1,400 participants via Zoom.

The Commission emphasized that the proposed reframed GE curriculum is not yet final and remains subject to the ongoing consultation process with higher education institutions, faculty, students, professional organizations, and other education stakeholders.

CHED said all stakeholder inputs will be carefully examined during the ongoing review to ensure the proposed curriculum is coherent, responsive, and aligned with national priorities and global standards. The Commission stressed that the process remains deliberate and evidence-based, with stakeholder feedback forming an important part of its deliberations. All position papers and formally submitted comments will be reviewed by the Technical Panel for General Education (TPGE).

For context, the proposed reframing forms part of the deliverables of the TPGE, which was re-constituted last September 2024 in response to urgent concerns relative to the alignment between the Senior High School and General Education curricula. Following a comprehensive review and initial consultations, the TPGE subsequently presented its recommendations in consecutive Commission en Banc meetings. This led to the decision to conduct broader public consultations to ensure that the policy-making process remains transparent and grounded in a holistic understanding of the sector’s needs.

CHED will continue to engage stakeholders through additional consultation mechanisms. This will ensure that the final policy, if issued, reflects careful study, meaningful participation, and the best interests of Filipino learners and higher education.
