菲律宾高等教育委员会（CHED）已将拟议的通识教育课程改革试点计划从2026年推迟至2028年。此前，教师、学生及倡议团体纷纷请愿，反对将通识教育学分从36学分削减至18学分。官方表示，此举旨在留出更多时间对利益相关者的意见进行评估。
菲律宾高等教育委员会在2026年5月13日举行的新闻发布会上宣布了这一延期决定。委员会主席Shirley Agrupis表示，试点实施时间将推迟至2028年，以便有足够的时间分析利益相关者的反馈。
由菲律宾高等教育委员会、教育部、第二国会教育委员会以及教师教育委员会共同参与的一次会议，促成了跨机构技术工作组的成立。该工作组将负责审查相关立场文件，接收截止日期为6月15日。目前，已有超过250所高等教育机构提交了意见。
批评人士对将菲律宾历史与黎刹（Rizal）课程合并，以及取消伦理学作为独立学科的做法表示担忧。技术专家组组长Edizon Fermin解释称，最初设定的2026年时间表旨在与教师教育课程的更新保持一致。
