2022 PHILIPPINE RESPONSE - Report - Page 37
Maritime Administration
Programme and course design, review and approval
SHORTCOMING 1
The Philippines’ authorities do not ensure
that the education and training is
structured in accordance with written
programmes, and included the methods
and media of delivery, procedures, and
course material as necessary to fully
achieve the prescribed standards of
competence, as required by the STCW
Convention and Code.
The review/evaluation of the program and course design,
review and approval identified several grievances. In particular:
Grievance 1
Insufficient design of Maritime Education and
Training (hereafter - MET) programmes for
certification of masters and officers
At the time of the EMSA inspection, MARINA and CHED had
not yet completed the design of the “programs of study” for
BSMT and the BSMarE programmes, which were still under
discussion, and had developed only draft course specifications
for the first academic year of the programmes. Therefore, the
“programs of study” for the BSMT and the BSMarE are not
structured in accordance with written programmes, as are
necessary to achieve the prescribed standard of
competence as required by Section A-I/6.1.1 of the STCW
Code.
