Filipino academics are breaking new ground in research and innovation through transnational education.
Jerome Amoranto of Bicol University (BU), Pam Eleazar of the University of the Philippines-Los Baños (UPLB) and Brian Chiu of University of Santo Tomas (UST) are ushering progress into their respective industries through transnational education (TNE), which brings world-class postgraduate education to Philippine shores.
The British Council teamed up with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and Philippine and UK universities to develop TNE programs that leverage faculty expertise and institutional knowledge in the country.
TNE seeks to enhance the quality of higher education in the Philippines by establishing transnational ties with universities around the world. Through TNE, the British Council connects Philippine- and UK-based universities to provide Filipinos a chance to secure a local postgraduate credential and an international qualification without needing to study full-time in the UK.
TNE also has its imprint on nation-building as the programs align with the goals of the Transnational Higher Education Law, enacted by Philippine Congress in 2019.
