The Constitution bars foreign universities from setting up campuses in the Philippines. These foreign universities offer the same curriculum as that in their home countries, but charging tuition and other fees at local rates. Foreign universities will still be under Philippine laws and supervised by the Department of Education for grade schools and high schools, and the Commission on Higher Education for colleges and universities. Bahasa Malaysia and a general course on Malaysian culture are taught at the foreign universities in Malaysia. World-class universities follow stringent hiring policies that are not dependent on the patronage system, the way some local universities do in their hiring policies.
