In 2005, the CHED Technical Panel for Nursing Education issued the
Nursing School Report Card that classified nursing schools based on
performance. This is measured by the schools’ average licensure rating
within a five-year period. In 2005, it was found that only 13% of the
total number of schools produced quality graduates, as shown by their
consistently high licensure passing rate of 75% and above. In spite of
the evaluation, the increase in nursing schools persisted. To date, no
schools have yet been closed by the CHED due to poor quality education
or licensure exam performance, demonstrating a lack of political will to
improve the system
