The Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) has announced the closure of 26 teacher education programs across the country, citing concerns over their failure to meet quality standards. The decision follows a review process aimed at ensuring that only programs that adequately prepare educators for the classroom remain operational. Affected institutions have been given a timeline to address deficiencies or face permanent shutdowns. Critics argue the move could worsen the shortage of qualified teachers in the Philippines.
