CHED want NCEE Back

Higher Education Chairman Emmanuel Angeles said he is in favor of proposals to introduce an examination for those who want to enter college much like the NCEE.

But he clarified that the exams should be more of an Aptitude Test.

"Students graduating from high school who would want to go to college will take Aptitude Test, and the results of which will be used to classify them into two groups," Angeles said.

The first group will include those who will go to the pre-college or the Technical-Vocational Evaluation Test track and those who will go to the university college track

THE Department of Education (DepEd) will go up against any move to revive the defunct National College Entrance Examination (NCEE).

According to Education Secretary Jesli Lapus, the National Career Assessment Examination (NCAE) is more responsive to the changing time while enhancing the development of every student's core skills.

Lapus said the NCAE is "less discriminatory" compared to the NCEE whose results are used whether a student can enter college and get a four-year degree program or not.
