Which department is tasked with the approval of schools offering Medical Technology programs?

The correct answer is the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). This agency is responsible for the oversight and regulation of higher education institutions and programs in the Philippines, including those offering Medical Technology. The role of CHED includes setting standards for various degree programs, ensuring quality education, and granting accreditation to schools.

While the Department of Health plays a significant part in the overall healthcare system and has its own regulations pertaining to medical practices and personnel, it does not specifically approve educational programs. The Board of Medical Technology is involved in the licensure of medical technologists but does not handle the approval of educational institutions. The Department of Education oversees basic education, which includes primary and secondary schools rather than higher education institutions.
