00:04This is what being eyed between the Department of Education or DepEd,
00:08Technical Education and Skills Development or TESDA,
00:11and the Commission on Higher Education or CHED.
00:14The initiative will now recognize the certificates from each institution.
00:19According to Undersecretary Nelly De Liera, Deputy Director General for TVET Partnership
00:25and Community-Based TVET of TESDA, certificates issued by DepEd will now be recognized by TESDA.
00:32From there, certificates issued by TESDA will also be recognized by CHED.
00:38You don't have to start from scratch, especially when you wanted to proceed to higher education
00:44because you can recognize the previous certificates.
00:49So, it's one of those.
00:50So, we're actually starting and piloting certain qualifications and certain programs on that.
