To help ensure that education services and processes will not be further delayed and disrupted, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) on Tuesday, May 18, pushed for the vaccination of at least 150,000 individuals who are part of the skeleton workforce in higher education institutions (HEIs).

“I think so much attention was given to other sectors that the education sector was not prioritized,” CHED Chairman Prospero De Vera III said during a virtual press conference for the 1st National Higher Education Day.

However, he noted that “what was not given equal emphasis is that there is a big workforce in every university and CHED that are working behind the scenes – to receive grades, prepare documents that students need.” “They are as essential as all other government agencies that are issuing permits, licenses and any documents that are needed – those in the higher education sector are equally important,” De Vera added.
