MANILA, Philippines – The Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC) is planning to conduct online board exams next year amid the threat of the COVID-19.
"We are looking at more technology-based examination. We are preparing for that," PRC Chairman Teofilo Pilando Jr. said during the Senate hearing on 2021 national budget of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).
The PRC is an attached agency of DOLE.
“We might be able to start with the smaller boards, which will be more manageable,” Pilando added.
Last July, Pilando initially revealed plans of computer-based board exams.
"Unfortunately, that is not yet available for this year," he clarified when asked about the recommendation on how to proceed with the licensure exams for the remainder of the year.
Exam results portal PRC Board News ran a survey asking which mode of board exam takers prefer amid the pandemic: traditional (face-to-face) or computer-based (online). Sixty-six percent or 3 out of 4 respondents are in favor of the current setup. Netizens pointed out of possible cheating and loopholes of the latter option.
PRC decided to postpone a number of board exams this year due to rise of COVID-19 cases.
Meanwhile, exams for Physicians pushed through due to urgent need of medical community. A total of 800 out of 1,424 passed the exams, the agency announced early Friday. The second batch of physician licensure exam (PLE) is set in November this year.
The postponed exams will be rescheduled in 2021, the PRC said.

Why push the face to face board if we are facing health crisis. Would you risk your health for a face to face board? If it's online board exam will do good I will go for it.

ReplyDeleteTraditional college instruction is part of a well-established tradition that has remained fairly unchanged over time. A college professor is associated with someone who is a subject matter expert, likely to achieve a position with tenure, and have dual roles as an instructor and researcher. It is expected that they will be published authors of scholarly journal articles that have been peer-reviewed and contributed knowledge to their field. While this form of education and instructor still exists, there is another academic institution that has also been established and it is an online college and university. What is needed now more than ever is a new category of educator, one who meets the needs of students who participate in this modern form of education. Now is also the time for online universities to embrace this new form of instructors, those who can be called a Modern Educator. https://livingmiraclescenter.org/news-blog/a-course-in-miracles-blog-newsletter.html

ReplyDeleteHelp with essay writing? Surely this must be frowned upon by the authorities. Academic writing should be the result of an individual's work, and a student should not ask for another writer to 'fix my essay'. That is certainly true of course, but there is a degree to which essay assistance is allowed, governed by a code of conduct set out by the universities. undefined
