Cañete’s city college students welcome in recognized school

THE board of trustees of the Mandaue City College (MCC) headed by Mayor Jonas Cortes yesterday approved a resolution to accommodate  students from MCC under Dr. Paulus Cañete.

Mandaue City Administrator James Abadia said  MCC under Dr. Susana Cabahug can accommodate students from Cañete’s MCC enrolled in  courses also offered in Cabahug’s  MCC.

The students have  one year to transfer  from Aug. 25, 2011, to Aug. 25, 2012.

The board said they “advised Dr. Cabahug to make provisions for the transfer of the students affected by the closure to transfer to Mandaue City College.”

Abadia said Cabahug’s MCC will welcome  education students  and those taking a Diploma Program for Education (DPE) who have  to take 18 units to be able to take the Teachers Board Examination.

He said they do not offer criminology, engineering, masters and doctoral degrees.

The board of trustees was prompted to make the resolution after Cañete continued to accept enrollees and graduate students from programs without a government permit.

MCC graduates “from board courses or programs shall not be allowed to take any licensure examination,” said Commission on Higher Education (Ched) chairperson Dr. Patricia Licuanan in a letter dated July 4.

By virtue of Ched en banc Resolution No. 163-2011, Licuanan wrote a letter informing the public that the college has no legal personality to operate and lacks government recognition.
