Just saw this (Manila Bulletin online):
A school is classified as high performing (or with high passing rate) if its OPR is one standard deviation higher than the mean OPR. It is low performing (or with low passing rate) if its OPR is one standard deviation lower than the mean OPR; and zero performing if none of its examinees passed any board examination in the five-year period covered by the study. In this regard, the Professional Regulation Commission lists four leading schools, namely:
1. University of the Philippines - Diliman (with a high passing rate (HPR) in 16 board examinations)
2. University of Santo Tomas (with HPR in 12 board examinations)
3. St. Louis University - Baguio City (11 HPR)
4. Xavier University - Cagayan de Oro City
(11 HPR)
Other schools with high passing rates in six to nine licensure examinations:
Central Philippines University (Iloilo City), Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, Silliman University (Dumaguete City), University of the Philippines (Los Baños), Mapua Institute of Technology (Manila), Ateneo de Davao University, De La Salle University (Manila), Mindanao State University (Marawi City), and University of the Philippines (Manila).
The study shows the good performance of some institutions but unmistakably it points to the glaring inefficiencies in the higher education system...
