MANILA, Philippines – Ninety percent of examinees flunked the Civil Service Examinations (CSE), the Civil Service Commission (CSC) announced yesterday.
Only 10 percent or 6,334 out of 62,389 individuals passed the tests that were conducted nationwide last November.
More than 56,000 examinees failed the CSE for professional and sub-professional levels. The CSC did not say why.
Passing the CSE would qualify individuals to work in the government.
Both tests included questions
on vocabulary, grammar and correct usage, paragraph organization, reading comprehension, analogy, logic, and numerical reasoning.
The examinations also covered general information questions on the Philippine Constitution; the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees; peace and human rights issues and concepts, and environment management and protection.
Of the 6,334 who passed, the CSC said 4,681 passed the Professional level test while 1,653 passed the Sub Professional level.
Passers will be conferred Professional and Sub-Professional Eligibility which would qualify them for permanent appointment to vacant positions in the government career service provided they also meet the education, experience and training requirements of the position being applied for.
The CSC noted that based on collective figures, the National Capital Region got the highest passing rate at 14.92 percent, followed by Cordillera Administrative Region at 13.83 percent, Region VII (Central Visayas) at 11.64 percent, Region III (Central Luzon) at 11.12 percent and Region IV (Southern Tagalog) at 10.59 percent.
The CSC said successful examinees are advised to coordinate with the agency’s regional office in their area on the requirements and procedure for claiming their Certificate of Eligibility.
Those who failed can retake the CSE, but they can do so only once every three months. –Michael Punongbayan (The Philippine Star)
