The rapid increase of schools presenting inefficient nursing education could produce a deleterious effect upon the Philippines' impression as the foremost procedure of high degree nurses in the worldwide job market. The commission on Audit (COA) has stated concern ever the Commission of Higher Education's inability to issue measures used to enforce a rule ranging from initial warning for program termination to the issuance of a recommendation for program termination to nursing schools whose nursing graduates have consistent poor performance in the licensure examination of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). From 2001 to 2005, 7.22 percent or 19 out 263 nursing schools throughout the Philippines failed to have even one nursing graduate who passed the board exams. Up to the present in more than 10 years of the CHED's implementation of the program termination, no nursing school who has miserable PRC performance has ever been come to an and because of not enough imposition of CHED's regulatory powers. It was found out that the regulatory power of CHED is chiefly given into the control of its regional directors, but it was observed that CHED regional directors had apparently failed to give the right amount of attention to impose suitable sanction to such nursing schools . CHED's acting chairman Secretary Romulo Neri presented the rotation proposal to be accepted or rejected as solution to the problem. Is the implementation of a massive rotation of the CHED's regional directors necessary? Is it the only possible solution to this problem.
