Section 9Sec./Art. 9

Performance Monitoring and Impact Assessment. The Program shall be evaluated rigorously by the CHED in terms of its impact on desired results and its progress towards achieving them shall be monitored regularly. The CHED shall clearly define those results and their target values. Impact evaluation shall be measured against, among others:

(a) Education outcomes such as enrolment in all SUCs and number of graduates;

(b) Economic indicators such as income and employment; and

(c) Indicators for contributions to community service and public good.

Performance and progress shall, in addition, be measured with regard to: (a) number of students covered by the program; (b) quality of SUCs enrolled in; and (c) economic status upon enrolment. Tracer studies and survey data for experimental and quasi-experimental analyses shall be undertaken to produce credible impact evaluation studies, as may be determined by the CHED: Provided, That the Program is to be evaluated every five (5) years from the date of its implementation.
