The Commission on Higher Education has shut down 26 institutions offering teacher education diplomas, citing concerns over their compliance with academic standards and quality assurance. The move follows investigations into alleged diploma mills that allegedly issued credentials without proper oversight, raising questions about the qualifications of graduates entering the education sector. Authorities emphasize that the closure aims to protect the integrity of teacher training programs and ensure only properly accredited institutions continue to operate. The decision could impact thousands of students currently enrolled in these programs.
