CESDEV-NURSING JOINS WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY 2011

World Environment Day (WED) is an annual event that is aimed at being the biggest and most widely celebrated global day for positive environmental action. WED activities take place all year round but climax on 5 June every year, involving everyone from everywhere.

WED celebration began in 1972 and has grown to become the one of the main vehicles through which the UN stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and encourages political attention and action.

Through WED, the UN Environment Programme is able to personalize environmental issues and enable everyone to realize not only their responsibility, but also their power to become agents for change in support of sustainable and equitable development.

WED is also a day for people from all walks of life to come together to ensure a cleaner, greener and brighter outlook for themselves and future generations.

MAKING A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE

“Although individual decisions may seem small in the face of global threats and trends, when billions of people join forces in common purpose, we can make a tremendous difference.”

- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon

ANNOUNCEMENT

As much as we would like to provide you more convenience for tomorrow's Tree Planting activity, our request for school bus came in when most of the school buses have already been booked for other trips. We will therefore have to take public transportation to reach the site.

Otherwise, you may assemble at the Regional Television Network Office of ABS-CBN Cebu in Jagobiao, Mandaue City. Buses from the Mandaue City and Cebu City government are available for free transportation.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SANZ!

CHED VISIT

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) headed by Dr. Jocelle Jumao-as visited University of Cebu - Banilad last week. They expressed delight and were impressed with the Community Extension services of the university especially that of the College of Nursing.

Kudos to everyone especially to the volunteers! Keep up the good work.

IN FOCUS: CHED

The Commission on Higher Education of the Philippines, (Filipino: Komisyon sa Mas Mataas na Edukasyon), abbreviated as CHED. The CHED is attached to the Office of the President for administrative purposes. It covers both public and private higher education institutions as well as degree-granting programs in all post-secondary educational institutions in the country.

The CHED was established on May 18, 1994 through Republic Act No. 7722 or the Higher Education Act of 1994 which was authored by Senator Francisco Tatad. The creation of CHED was part of a broad agenda for reforms in the country's education system, outlined by the Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM) in 1992. Part of the reforms is the trifocalization of the education sector.

The three governing bodies in the education sector are the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) for tertiary and graduate education, the Department of Education (DepEd) for basic education, and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) for technical-vocational and middle level education.
