In accordance with pertinent provisions of Republic Act (RA) No. 7722, otherwise
known as the “Higher Education Act of 1994,” and pursuant to Commission En Banc
(CEB) Resolution No. 798 - 2006 to rationalize Information Technology Education (ITE)
in the country and keep pace with the demands of global competitiveness, the
following Policies and Standards (PS) for ITE are hereby adopted and promulgated
by the Commission, thus:
ARTICLE I
INTRODUCTION
Section I. Rationale and Background
The field of Information Technology (IT) is ever dynamic; its advancement and
development had been rapid and its evolvement is a continuous process. To face
the challenges of advancement, the Commission recognizes the need to be
responsive according to the current needs of the country. Hence, it is essential and
important that the country’s IT capability should be continually developed and
strengthened to be at par globally.
It is the objective of the Commission to develop and promote the Policies and
Standards (PS) for Information Technology Education to provide a minimum
standard for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) offering or intending to offer quality
ITE programs. The PS is developed with consultations from all stakeholders, from the
academe to industry.
The PS contains provisions that cultivate the culture of excellence in offering the ITE
programs. This is in line with the vision of the Commission to have HEIs produce
competent graduates that shall cater to the needs of the IT industry. The PS is also
designed for all HEIs to exercise their innovativeness and creativity in the
development of its curriculum for the offering of ITE programs.

expectations in the IT related field should be established between the HEI and the
industry in the form of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) or Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU).
Internship is a requirement for the BSIT and BSIS program but optional for the BSCS
program. Students are eligible to enrol the internship program after completing the

programming languages and computer systems, as well as
documentation materials related to the development and use of
systems that were purchased by the HEIs.
