MANILApera play, Philippines — The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) on Wednesday ordered the closure of Our Lady of Mercy College (OLMC) in Eastern Samar’s Borongan City.
CHED chairman Prospero de Vera III said this move was made due to OLMC’s non-compliance of the commission’s policies, standards, and guidelines (PSGs) to its criminology and nursing programs.
The agreement to buy energy from reactors built by Kairos Power came just weeks after word that Three Mile Island, the site of America’s worst nuclear accident, will restart operations to provide energy to Microsoft.
Students have previously raised complaints about the issuance of their school records and credentials to a radio program.
