NURSING PROGRAM UP TO PAR: CHED apologizes to UV for wrong announcement
By Jessica Ann R. Pareja (The Freeman)

CEBU, Philippines – The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) admitted yesterday that it mistakenly included the University of the Visayas (UV) in the list of institutions with nursing programs recommended for closure.

CHED Chairman Emmanuel Angeles sent a letter through facsimile to UV Executive Vice-President and VP for Finance Jose R. Gullas correcting the information earlier published that UV was one of the four schools in Cebu advised to scrap its nursing program for failure to surpass the national passing percentage of 40.70 percent.

Angeles already apologized to Gullas over the phone last week for the mistake.

“We take cognizance for the performance of the graduates in nursing of the University of the Visayas, Banilad, Mandaue City for the year 2009. A review of the data given to us by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) revealed that truly your graduates’ performance in the 2009 Board Examination for Nurses is 45.72 percent which is above the National Passing Percentage of 40.70 percent,” Angeles said.
