The current situation of higher education in the Philippines can be summarized as the rapid increase in number of HEIs(Higher Education Institutes), the polarization of the education quality, and the current deferment of educational development. The soaring number of HEIs has been backed up by the autonomous establishment and management of private sector, and also by the marketization of higher education. Further, the quality control of higher education has been also the task of private sector, which has made the state level of control difficult. The benefit and financial support for HEIs which are selected by government tend to be focused on certain prominent schools, which accelerate the bi-polarization of higher education. In the Philippines with high poverty rate, it becomes more difficult for students from lower class to access the higher education with good quality, and the economic and social class difference becomes more solid through such an unequal educational opportunity, In response to educational issues, Philippine government has tried various remedies, however, the trial hasn`t had a significant outcome because of unsteady political will for the educational reformation and the scarce financial support. The current Aquino administration recognizes that the higher education is the key to successful economic development and to the equal society. Thus the government has actively shown the vision and has implemented the plan. Though, it still needs an attention before judging whether it draws the cooperation from the conservative political parties and it would have fruitful outcomes.
