The Philippine government will be launching the national open data portal, data.gov.ph, by end of November which will serve as a repository for public national government datasets that can be easily accessed by the public.

In the case of the Commission on Higher Education, it has data on enrolment, education key performance indicators, budgeting, graduates, and school facilities. By making them available on the open data portal would allow students to see which courses are oversubscribed and which programmes fit the requirements of the industry. By doing so, they are able to confidently decide what course or programme they should pursue in college.
