COMMISSION on Higher Education Chairman Prospero De Vera III vowed to improve the delivery of higher education programs as he thanked the public for trusting the agency.

CHED was one of the five best performing and most trusted agencies in the second quarter survey conducted by Octa Research, getting a score of 80 percent.

“These achievements will spur us not only to continue but also improve the delivery of higher education programs in the country. This is a team effort,” De Vera said.

“CHED succeeds only because its employees in the whole country work hard, and because our public and private HEIs efficiently implement free higher education and other programs,” he added.

Following CHED in the rating was the Department of Education, which garnered 79 percent performance rating.

It was followed by the Philippine National Police with 76 percent, the Department of Health, 75 percent, and the Department of Social Welfare and Development, 73 percent.
