The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) said it would continue consultations on its proposed revisions to the General Education curriculum, following concerns raised by various academic groups.
The proposal, which seeks to reduce required GE units from 36 to 18, had drawn criticism from educators who warned of its possible impact on the humanities and faculty employment.
Several groups opposed the plan to remove standalone subjects such as philosophy, ethics, literature, art appreciation, and Philippine history, which would instead be incorporated into broader courses.
CHED said the proposal remained under review and was not yet final, noting that stakeholder feedback would play a key role in shaping the outcome.
The agency said thousands of participants joined the public consultation held on May 5 through online platforms, where educators, students, and other stakeholders shared their positions.
It said all submitted comments and position papers would be assessed by the Technical Panel for General Education as part of an ongoing evaluation process.
CHED said the review stemmed from efforts to align college-level courses with lessons already covered under the K to 12 program and to address concerns on curriculum overlap.
The commission said further consultations were planned as it works toward a possible rollout of the revised curriculum in academic year 2027 to 2028.
