ALTHOUGH the Philippine educational sector is opening its doors to international linkages, the government still needs to craft a proactive policy environment to expand collaborations.
Lotus Postrado, the British Council country director for the Philippines, told the BusinessMirror in an e-mail interview that the organization hopes for Filipino universities to explore more cooperations through the “Transnational Education Network ” toward higher learning.
She said the British Council will partner educational institutions, upgrading the quality of institutions and their programs, then added the TNE will support them in developing programs currently unavailable in the Philippines, providing opportunities to create Filipino experts in niche areas, especially those aligned with the national priorities identified in the Philippine Development Plan.
With the passing of Republic Act 11448, or “An Act Expanding Access to Educational Services through the Establishment and Administration of Transnational Higher Education,” the Philippines is taking its first step toward internationalization. Currently, there is ongoing support for university faculties studying degrees on TNE. A scholarship is being provided in collaboration with CHED under the ACT-IHE program.
