National College Entrance Examination (NCEE)/National Secondary Assessment Test(NSAT)/National Career Assessment Examination (NCAE). The NCEE (1973-1994) was taken by every graduating high school student to be admitted to a degree course in higher education in the Philippines. The intention was to screen graduating high school students if they are eligible to study for college. The earlier version for this purpose was the College Entrance Test (CET)which was used in 1971 and 1972.
This was created by a team from the Fund for Assistance to Private Education (FAPE). This test served as an admission test for colleges and universities in the Philippines that measured Verbal Ability, Verbal Reasoning, Abstract Reasoning and Numerical Ability. This test became controversial because the test used primarily English language that may prejudice students from rural and poor areas, whichledtoabolitionin1994.
On June 2, 1994, Republic Act No. 7731, or “An Act Abolishing the National College Entrance Examination, Repealing for the Purpose Presidential Decree No. 146”, was approved, the requirement of an entrance examination for entry into initial four-year tertiary bachelors’ programs under PD 146 was abolished.
Looking at the quality of education that we have today, is it better if we bring back the National College Entrance Examination?
