An intriguing question, however, is: Even now (i.e., before the strategies are formulated), what is the state of Far Eastern University if assessed by this institutional aspiration as the organizing principle? In what follows, this report presents the programs and activities under each of these support structures that, in turn, facilitate FEU’s achievement of the different facets of excellence. FAR EASTERN UNIVERSITY 3 Talent Development A higher-education institution (HEI) can only be as good as its faculty and staff.

  • Far Eastern University Institute of Education
    Far Eastern University Institute of Education The Institute of Education (IE) is one of the four original institutes that comprised Far Eastern University in 1934. At first, the Institute’s concentration was in Home Economics, to emphasize the education of women as a driving force in the home. Hence, an integrated program and special courses in Clothing and Textiles, Cookery and Interior Decoration were among its curricular offerings. In 1946, the IE was granted Government Recognition for the elementary and high school teacher’s certificate. In the same year, the university was empowered to grant the degree of Bachelor of Secondary Education as well as the postgraduate course in Education. In 1956, it was granted Government Recognition #399 for the Bachelor of Elementary program with majors in General Education and Special Education. In 1973, it was granted permission to offer the Master of Arts in Teaching, and in 1977, its Doctor of Education program was recognized. The Institute of Education was granted permission in 1997 to offer 18 units of credits in professional education. In 2001 and in 2002, new programs were established – Bachelor of Science in Education major in Sports and Recreational Management (SRM) and the Teacher Certificate Program (TCP). Under the vertical articulation program of CHED, the administration of the graduate programs in Education was transferred from the Institute of Graduate Studies to the Institute of Education in 2007. To date, the Institute has graduated thousands who are actively engaged in the teaching profession not only as teachers and professors in public and private institutions of learning here and abroad but also as school administrators, researchers, authors of textbooks and other learning materials, as well as officials of government.

    72 Journal of English Studies and Comparative Literature Vol. 20 No. 1 (2021) Gémino H. Abad Literary Awards for Poetry and for Literary Criticism Awardees What is an Editor?: Ricardo de Ungria as Producer of Knowledge Julian dela Cerna At the 35th National Book Awards, the poet Ricardo M. de Ungria re- ceived Best Anthology in English for Habagatanon: Conversations with Six Davao Writers (2015), a work that consists of transcripts of de Un- gria’s interviews with writers whose identities are proffered to its readers as Davaoeños; a sampling of the writers’ poems or short stories; and an introduction that traces the literary history of the said city and provides an overview of the conversations. Taking inspiration from The Writer and His Milieu: An Oral History of First Generation Writers in English (1984) and Writers and Their Milieu: An Oral History of Second Generation Writers in English (1993), which are both edited by Edilberto N. Alegre and Doreen G. Fernandez, de Ungria’s book is credited to him, the editor, for the research, interviews, and selection of works that best represent the featured writers. The judges at the National Book Awards recognize the effort and describe the book as: [A] lively set of dialogues with local writers and its meticulous work of documentation are such an impressive and laudable effort to recover the writers’ memories of their craft, fashion a knot of lesser- known but nonetheless significant local histories, and weave them into the larger frame of our national imagining.1 By initiating the project, as the citation suggests, de Ungria acts as a producer of knowledge, recording an oral history of craftsmanship that could have otherwise been forgotten, if not completely left unknown.

  • Internationalization of Teacher Education in the Philippines: Innovative Practices That Made a Difference
    PATEF Conference 2010 November 27, 2010 Bayview Park Hotel INTERNATIONALIZATION OF TEACHER EDUCATION IN THE PHILIPPINES: INNOVATIVE PRACTICES THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE Rene C. Romero Vice President, UNESCO-APNIEVE Philippines Philippine Normal University WHAT MAKES A UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL? “it is the presence of a clear institution-wide positive attitude toward understanding better other cultures and societies, learning more about the political and economic interconnectedness of humankind, a genuine interest in interacting with representatives of these other cultures and societies, a genuine desire to understand the major issues confronting the human and ecological survival of planet earth and to learn how to cooperate with others across national and cultural boundaries in seeking solutions to world problems, irrespective of one’s own academic course of studies, career, profession or station in life. Where such a positive international institutional attitude exists, it inevitably translates itself gradually in the curriculum and the overall university ‘international/intercultural ethos.” Maurice Harari (1997) International Association of University Presidents “ Internationalization of higher education is the process of integrating an international/intercultural dimension into the teaching, research and service functions of the institution.” Jane Knight (1999) The main purpose of the internationalization of higher education is: “ to produce graduates who have the ability to be an active part in a globalized society, able to communicate

  • Occasional Paper No. 68 National Center for the Study of Privatization in Education Teachers College, Columbia University
    Occasional Paper No. 68 National Center for the Study of Privatization in Education Teachers College, Columbia University Evaluating Private Higher Education in the Philippines: The Case for Choice, Equity and Efficiency Charisse Gulosino MA Student, Teachers College, Columbia University Abstract Private higher education has long dominated higher education systems in the Philippines, considered as one of the highest rates of privatization in the world. The focus of this paper is to provide a comprehensive picture of the nature and extent of private higher education in the Philippines. Elements of commonality as well as differences are highlighted, along with the challenges faced by private institutions of higher education. From this evidence, it is essential to consider the role of private higher education and show how, why and where the private education sector is expanding in scope and number. In this paper, the task of exploring private higher education from the Philippine experience breaks down in several parts: sourcing of funds, range of tuition and courses of study, per student costs, student destinations in terms of employability, and other key economic features of non-profit /for-profit institutions vis-à-vis public institutions. The latter part of the paper analyses several emerging issues in higher education as the country meets the challenge for global competitiveness. Pertinent to this paper’s analysis is Levin’s comprehensive criteria on evaluating privatization, namely: choice, competition, equity and efficiency. The Occasional Paper Series produced by the National Center for the Study of Privatization in Education promotes dialogue about the many facets of privatization in education. The subject matter of the papers is diverse, including research reviews and original research on vouchers, charter schools, home schooling, and educational management organizations.
