Press Release
SOLON WANTS YOUTHFUL, HEALTHY OFFICIALS LEADING CHED
Rep. Michael “Mikee” L. Romero files today House Bill 6975 entitled “The CHED Chairman and Commissioners Age and Health Qualifications Upon Appointment Act”.
House Bill 6975 seeks to set age and health qualifications for the posts of Chairman and Commissioners of the Commission on Higher Education.
Sixty (60) years old is the age ceiling while a fit for work certification from a licensed medical doctor are the additional qualifications added to Section 4 of Republic Act 7722, also known as the Higher Education Act of 1994.
Leading the highest policy-making government agency for higher education can be taxing on personal health and also requires wisdom that comes with age. The fit for work certification and age ceiling of 60 years are reasonable qualifications necessary for the physical and intellectual demands of the highest posts at the CHED.
A good balance this bill seeks in the interest of public service. (END)
