Autonomous institutions are exempted from CHED鈥檚 regular monitoring and evaluation and are prioritized in the grant of subsidies and other financial incentives or assistance. New programs may also be offered by the given PHEI, which is also authorized to 鈥渄etermine and prescribe their curricular programs to achieve global competence.鈥� Autonomous institutions, meanwhile, are expected to help in quality assurance development and mentoring programs for non-Autonomous and non-Deregulated PHEIs to help increase the number of recognized institutions.

CHED assessed UST and other private higher education institutions using the instrument laid out in CHED Memorandum Order No. 6, Series of 2023. The criteria look into 鈥淐ommitment to Program Excellence鈥� (30 points), 鈥淓xcellence in Instruction, Scholarly Works, and Community Engagements鈥� (40 points), and 鈥淚nstitutional Quality and Excellence鈥� (30 points). Institutions with scores of 80 and above are granted Autonomous Status, which has been conferred to 77 private higher education institutions this cycle.

Among the evidence required of universities are evidence of program accreditation/assessment from international and local agencies, such as ASEAN University Network Quality Assurance (AUNQA) and the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, and the Centers of Excellence and Development awarded by CHED itself. To date, UST has 18 bachelor鈥檚 programs certified by AUNQA, 13 Centers of Excellence, and 13 Centers of Development. UST programs also enjoy accreditation from local agencies like the Philippine Accrediting Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA) and the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities (PAASCU).

Programs with above-national-passing-rate performance in licensure exams, average graduation rate, and percentage of employed graduates were also assessed for the period, along with the presence of academic staff with doctoral degrees and/or industry experience. The engagement of academic staff in research was also assessed through patents, indexed publications, and creative works, along with their recognitions received from local and international agencies. A university鈥檚 partnerships with communities and other institutions were also assessed, including mobility and quality assurance engagements.

Institutional recognitions by both local and institutional bodies, such as AUNQA and ISO, also help in determining the status given to an institution, while recognitions from international rankings bodies like Times Higher Education (THE) and Quacquarelli-Symonds (QS) were also counted. During the period of 2019-2023, UST earned its Institutional Certification from AUNQA, becoming the second Philippine university to enjoy the recognition. Meanwhile, it remains one of the top-ranked universities according to metrics used by THE and QS. UST, which has enjoyed ISO certification, is also transitioning to the ISO 21001:2018 certification soon, following successful certifications under 9001:2008 and 9001:2015.

Such training endeavors allow students to screen, evaluate, and assess patients and help in individual and group therapy sessions. Apart from equipping students to handle concerns on speech, language, and swallowing disorders, aural habilitation and rehabilitation and augmentative and alternative communication are integrated in the curriculum.

Graduates of the program may proceed to take advanced studies in the fields of health professions education, clinical audiology, and medicine (all offered in UST), bringing with them sound training in practice and research. The Department of Speech-Language Pathology includes as part of its thrusts the conduct of research that will adapt and make culturally relevant SLP interventions, develop evidence-based practices, and promote professional growth and continuing education.

Ms. Laurence Blattmer, the Dominicans for Justice and Peace Program Coordinator, emphasized the necessity of providing educators with sufficient resources and training when she said that 鈥淓ducators can inspire and empower students to become proactive global citizens by understanding the deeply intertwined nature of climate change and human rights.”

The General Promoter of Justice and Peace and Permanent Delegate to the United Nations Rev. Fr. Aniedi Okure, O.P., in his welcome remarks, emphasized the importance of humanity鈥檚 future and the instigation of awareness and the call for immediate action against climate change and its impact on human rights. He also highlighted caring for the environment and being stewards of God鈥檚 creation. 鈥淲e who are alive now, we do not inherit land from our ancestors, but borrow it from the future; if you are given land, you are obliged to take care of it,鈥� he said.

The launch featured insights from human rights advocates, climate change activists, policymakers, and academics, who all emphasized the role of educators as change agents in creating awareness on social issues such as climate change and human rights in the classroom. Attendees were also engaged in a four-day workshop that was held at the Colegio de San Juan de Letran in Bataan on July 16 to July 19. This workshop served as the venue for the discussion on the integration of human rights and climate change into the Matatag curriculum.

With the assistance of the SIMBAHAYAN Community Development Office as represented by its Assistant Director Asst. Prof. Christian Rey D. Rimando, MSPT and the Initiatives for Dialogue and Empowerment through Alternative Legal Services (IDEALS) coordinator Genalyn G. Aquino-Arcayera, Ph.D., the trainees were able to immerse themselves during the four-day workshop as they took a deep dive into the nuances and needs that must be met in order to adhere to the conditions set by both the Matatag Curriculum and the published handbook. Teachers were able to exchange ideas and consult coordinators regarding the subject, with the creation of workable strategies that apply the material of the handbook to their teaching during interactive classes.

Initiatives such as this event are vital now more than ever as the world struggles with the combined issues of climate change and human rights. The Dominicans for Justice and Peace is enabling educators to strengthen the next generation of leaders who are prepared to take on these challenges head-on by fostering  knowledge and innovation.
