Abstract: Public higher education institutions in the Philippines have experienced expansions in campuses, programs, and enrollments. However, these expansions come with challenges that may hinder their capacity to deliver quality education and ensure access for disadvantaged groups. This study analyzes the nature of these expansions in state and local universities and colleges, identifies the associated issues and challenges, and offers policy recommendations to ensure that growth in public higher education institutions includes measures that safeguard the quality of educational offerings while guaranteeing access for disadvantaged groups.
