天主教教育团体及相关利益方对高等教育委员会拟议的通识教育课程改革表示强烈反对。他们认为，这些修订可能会损害全人教育，并将高等教育沦为纯粹的就业培训。相关团体呼吁在实施前进行更广泛的磋商。
在联合声明中，菲律宾天主教教育协会与菲律宾天主教主教会议下属的天主教教育主教委员会对高等教育机构此前提出的担忧表示支持。他们强调，通识教育是大学体验的核心，不应被市场驱动的目标所狭隘化。
这些团体援引利奥十四世教皇的教诲，强调真正的教育必须将科学与人文相结合，将技术与良知相结合。他们敦促高等教育委员会开展基于证据的审查，并邀请学生、教育工作者及学术领袖共同参与。
超过1,500名利益相关者签署了一份单独的立场文件，称该草案是企业术语的拼凑，缺乏连贯的愿景。签署人警告称，这些变动可能导致多达9万名教职员工失业，并削弱道德与公民教育。他们计划于5月12日向高等教育委员会提交请愿书。
