2. Accelerating Human Capital Development
Chapter 10- Philippine Development Plan

3. BACKGROUND
Equalizing opportunities for human development is an important part of Philippine Development Plan (PDP). Under the Pillar Pagbabago, the PDP recognizes human development not just as a means to an end but also as end in itself.

4. STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK
The Philippine Development Plan aims to reduce inequalities in human development outcomes. In particular it aims to improve nutrition and health for all, ensure lifelong learning opportunities for all, and increase the income-earning ability of Filipinos

5. Issues in Higher Education
The higher education system is beset by stubborn issues which, in light of 21st century challenges, require urgent, tactical, and transformative solutions
Lack of faculty with advance degrees
Low number of HEIs with accredited programs and low national passing percentage in licensure examination
Poor quality of graduate programs and inadequate attention to research and technological innovations have reinforced a deficient science and innovation culture and lack of interest among young Filipinos to pursue scientific, engineering, and technical studies

6. Issues in Higher Education
4. Mismatch between higher education and industry requirements that is attributed to a. underdeveloped 21st century competencies among graduates b. adherence to a teacher-centered and input-based education paradigm c. the uncritical application of the evolving quality standards of the universities ( e.g. publications in peer reviewed journals) to Philippine HEIs regardless of mission, thus resulting in watered-down standards for universities and inefficiencies in other types of HEIs (allocation of funds for token research centers instead of laboratories) 5. Organizational issues within the bureaucracy and questionable practices
