"decent" intellectual exchange includes stating reasons and backing them up with facts, not merely whining.

your school s**ks!

Now tell me what is so decent and intellectual about that. If you consider that as an intelligent statement then that would made me question as to the level of your intelligence.

If you want to present 2 sides of the coin then state it. There is no such perfect institution; a government, a corporation, a school, even the church (not the "Church") have its own share controversies. As humans are the moving force behind these institutions, it is inevitable that mistakes and errors will be commited. A certain division of a corporation can be low performing, a government can undergo recession, a school can produce bad and good apples in the community, and such list can go on. But to judge on how successful an insititution can be is not to zoom in on a certain unit, individual, or cycle but the totality of its performance.

As with Silliman University, it too is not spared. Such as high tuition fees in less performing programs or perhaps few boring teachers who could not effectively impart the knowledge to the students. Yet on its 108 years of existence, it has produce great men and women who had made impact to the society on either big or humble ways. Some are famous while others don't hug the lime light. It is not perfect but it has continue to strive and provide its students with quality and wholistic education. Not limited to academics but also in the appreciation of arts, cultural and racial diversity, and environmental awareness while at the same time being encourage to be liberally minded but yet still has place emphasis on faith. Such characteristics can rarely be found in other academic institutions. If you were once a student of this university then you would have full grasp on what it meant.

These attributes have made men and women from these boys and girls. There are more things in life than just books which made me realize by studying in this school. That's what I'm so proud about my Alma Mater. Silliman University is indeed great!

152 nursing schools told: Improve or else…
By ANGELO G. GARCIANovember 25, 2009, 5:07pm

The Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) warned Wednesday 152 of the 456 nursing schools in the country to improve their licensure examination passing rates or face closure as more than 95,000 nursing graduates prepare for the tests this weekend.

“Shape up or be phased out,” said CHED chairman Emmanuel Angeles.

The low-performing nursing schools’ passing rates for the last five years have failed to meet the standards set by Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC), Angeles said.

“This is a wake-up call for our nursing schools to shape up or be phased out. CHEd will not hesitate to enforce the regulation if they still failed to heed our calls,” Angeles said.

The CHEd was able to identify the poor performing nursing schools through a series of validation processes conducted on all nursing schools in the country recently.

“With this move, we are helping not only the parents and students to carefully choose the nursing schools they go to, but we are also helping our economy my minimizing frustrations and wastage among our nursing graduates when they take the licensure tests and make sure that they only get quality education,” he added.

CHEd said that it will issue an initial warning to the 152 schools to improve their nursing programs through their graduates’ performance in the succeeding nursing licensure exams.

The schools in trouble performed below the National Passing Rate of 46.14 percent, CHEd said.

He stressed that the CHEd has the legal authority to order the closure or phasing out of degree programs that failed to meet the standards in licensure tests.

Last month, CHEd closed down six law schools that failed to meet standards.

“For this school year, higher education institutions (HEI) whose performance in licensure examinations in the last three consecutive years is greater than 50 percent, but (those getting) lower than the national passing rate shall be given an initial warning to improve their performance,” the CHEd said through Resolution No. 378-2009.

For HEIs whose passing percentage is zero percent for the last three years, CHEd said they will definitely be phased out, while those whose performance were above 50 percent but less than the national average shall have their recognized programs downgraded to permit status.

Likewise, Angeles said 15 schools have already closed down their nursing programs, namely: Bacarra Medical Center School of Midwifery (Region 1), Antipolo School of Nursing and Midwifery, Heroes Memorial College, Kolehiyo ng Mamamayan, Cotabato Maritime Academy, Ignatian College, Clinica Arellano School of Midwifery, Quezon Memorial College, Sta. Teresita College, Baguio General Hospital, Chong Jua Hospital School of Nursing, Faith Hospital School of Midwifery, Manila College of Optometry, Ortanez University and the Philippine Union College of Caloocan.

CHED has also released the list of the Top 20 nursing schools in the country with Silliman University clinching the top post having an average of 96.57 percent followed by the Saint Louis University, 95.42; Trinity University of Asia with 95.06; University of Sto. Tomas, 95.06; Cebu Doctors’ University, 91.89; Saint Paul University, 89.79; Central Philippine University, 86.72; De La Salle University-Health Sciences campus, 85.26; Saint Mary’s University, 84.10; San Pedro College, 83. 10; Manila Doctors College, 82.56; Centro Escolar University-Manila, 81.50; Angeles University Foundation, 76.37; Mariano Marcos University, 75.55; University of San Agustin, 73.25; University of Cebu, 70.99; Metropolitan Hospital College of Nursing, 70.54; Ateneo de Davao University, 70.20; San Juan De Dios Education Foundation, 69. 91; and University of St. La Salle, 67.55
