KEY AREA 2
MONITORING, SUPERVISION AND EVALUATION OF TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT
Regulations I/6 and I/8 of the STCW
Convention require that the training is
conducted, monitored, evaluated and
supervised to ensure achievement of
the defined objectives.
Attendance at lectures and practical
sessions is required to be recorded to
monitor compliance with the limit of
absences (not more than 20% of the
total number of lectures and practical
sessions).
However, the MHEIS do not ensure
that records of attendance are kept
systematically,
in
particular
regarding practical training using
laboratories and workshops:
●
The attendance records kept by
the University of Cebu and by BIT
International College showed
that the number of absences of
some students was over the limit
and this was not considered for
the purpose of establishing
whether or not the students
involved
failed
the
course
concerned, in line with the
provisions of CMO No 40 of 2008.

●
The Cristal E-College does not
require its instructors to keep
specific data or records of
student
attendance
systematically or using a defined
form for such purpose; therefore,
the
records
available
are
unreliable.
●
The attendance records kept by
Baliwag Maritime Academy are
unreliable. For instance, there
were records corresponding to
bank holidays when lectures and
practical sessions were not held.
Hence, as evidenced by the lack of
monitoring
of
attendance
of
students, the MHEIs, MARINA and
CHED do not fully ensure that the
training is conducted, monitored,
evaluated
and
supervised,
as
required by Regulation I/6 of the
STCW Convention and Section A-I/6.1
of the STCW Code, and do not fully
ensure a continuous monitoring of all
training and assessment activities to
ensure achievement of the defined
objectives, as required by Regulation
I/8.
