The Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation Program (ETEEAP) institutionalization measure failed to pass the committee in the House of Representatives.

House Bill 5728, which aims to strengthen the system of academic equivalency and validation of the knowledge and expertise derived by individuals from relevant work experiences and high-level, non-formal training to harness their full potential, was approved during the hearing on Monday by the House Committee on Higher and Technical Education, which is chaired by Rep. Mark Go of Baguio City.

Reps from the TINGOG party list wrote the legislation. Jude Acidre as well as Yedda Marie Romualdez.

In his address as a sponsor, Acidre stated that Executive Order 330, which was signed by then-President Fidel V. Ramos, was the reason the ETEEAP was first implemented in 1996.

He explained that the ETEEAP is an education evaluation program that takes into account the information, skills, and prior learning that people have acquired through informal and informal training as well as relevant work experiences.

According to Acidre, a person may receive a diploma for a degree through this program following a competency-based evaluation from a recognized assessment system using written tests, interviews, skills demonstrations, portfolios, and other innovative assessment methodologies given by designated assessors or faculty experts.

“There is a need to give people with demonstrated competence access to opportunities that will improve their chances of being accepted into the labor market, prepare them for higher-value jobs necessary for achieving global competitiveness, advance the strategic concerns of the government, and promote sustainable development,” he said.

The measure allows professionals with a total of five years or more of work experience to earn school credits by using the knowledge, experiences, accomplishments, and skills they have acquired through their employment. These credits are then subtracted from the total number of units or credits they must earn before graduating.

The following criteria must be met in order to be eligible for the program: The following requirements must be met: a) Filipino citizen, whether they reside in the Philippines or abroad; b) they must have at least five years of work experience; c) they must have a birth certificate issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority; d) they must be 23 years old or older; e) they must have a resume, curriculum vitae, or personal data sheet; f) they must have a properly completed ETEEAP application form; g) they must have a service record or employment

The proposed law shall be implemented under the direction of the Commission on Higher Education. Colleges and universities that want to use the ETEEAP in their academic curriculum must apply for accreditation from it.
