MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has partnered with the British Council in providing higher educational institutions (HEI) access to niche courses from the United Kingdom (UK) to further improve the state of education in the country.<\/p>\n

The Joint Development of Niche Programs (JDNP), through the Philippine-UK Linkages project, will provide capacity and funding support to 10 selected local HEIs to develop and implement niche programs that are not currently available in the country.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This will help improve the quality of the Philippines\u2019 higher education system through partnerships with UK universities, enabling local universities to become more globally competitive by offering degrees that are responsive to national issues and challenges.<\/p>\n

Student participants will receive dual or double degrees from HEIs in both local universities and partner UK universities. These degrees are valid in the UK and in all other countries where the UK has degree recognition agreements.<\/p>\n

Developing niche expertise in various areas is seen to help improve the state of higher education in the Philippines and the ASEAN region leading to robust economic growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy bringing together the academic excellence of Philippine and UK universities to co-create postgraduate niche degrees not currently available in the country, we are making international degrees more accessible and affordable to Filipinos who, otherwise, would not be able to pay for the cost of a full study abroad degree,\u201d Lotus Postrado, British Council\u2019s head of education, said in a press conference held Friday in Makati City.<\/p>\n

The British Council selected the universities based on set criteria, such as having autonomous status, \u201cLevel 3\u201d accreditation from CHED, and programs that focus on national priorities set by the government, among others.<\/p>\n

For his part, CHED officer in charge Commissioner Prospero de Vera said transnational education programs are aimed at offering opportunities outside the country by utilizing international expertise to improve the curriculum of local higher learning institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea is for CHED to play a facilitating role to bring together universities to work toward common degree programs that will provide new avenues for learning through offering programs not currently existing in the country.<\/p>\n

So that you enlarge opportunities for students not just in the Philippines but also in the region by inviting international students to take part in the program,\u201d said de Vera.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe role of the government is to facilitate in providing funding so that you bring universities with common interests together and fast-track the development of trans-national education programs,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
