Which pairing is correct for MT education governance?

• A. Approves/accredits schools of MT: DepEd/CHED; Approves/accredits training laboratories: DOH through BRL
• B. Approves/accredits schools of MT: DOH through BRL; Approves/accredits training laboratories: DepEd/CHED
• C. Approves/accredits schools of MT: PRC; Approves/accredits training laboratories: DOST
• D. Approves/accredits schools of MT: DILG; Approves/accredits training laboratories: CHED

Answer: (A)

In MT education governance, the regulatory roles are split between education regulators for programs and the health regulator for training labs. Approving and accrediting MT degree programs falls under the education sector: CHED handles higher-education programs and DepEd handles basic education elements. Training laboratories where MT students practice must meet health- and safety-related standards, so the Department of Health, through its Bureau of Research and Laboratories, accredits and approves those facilities. So the pairing that matches this division is: MT schools are approved/accredited by DepEd and CHED, while MT training laboratories are approved/accredited by the DOH through BRL. The other options mix up which agency regulates educational programs versus clinical/lab facilities, or assign licensure or other agencies to responsibilities they don’t cover.
