Today’s young
Filipinos belong to a new generation of technologically-adept learners the
world over. Their exposure to cable television, mobile phones, video games, and
the Internet have allowed them to become a part of sweeping new changes and
paradigms in the field of education.
The role of private
colleges and universities is predominant in higher education. Unfortunately,
most of these institutions are beyond the reach of the poor. Historically,
Philippine private higher educational institutions (HEI) have made a chief role
in educating the Filipino population throughout the centuries.
The unending
pressure to seek better academic reputation and broaden programs relevant to
the needs of economy continues to confront the private sector. They continue to
face infinite challenges that concern all aspects of its existence. Without a
well-established foundation, it may eventually dwindle if it fails to address
increasing problems brought about by the dynamism of the market and human
resource.
Currently, a new
curriculum has been set up and private HEIs have been conscientiously making
moves to be able to survive the eclectic demands of the 21st century. Educational transformation is
always the result of social evolution. Hence, social evolution can be the
result of educational transformation.
It is in this light
that the essence of school evaluation be emphasized, as it is the fact that
assessment in itself can contribute to enhancing academic effectiveness, thus
developing the Philippine social structure.
