We want to become a COE in the English Department by 2021.
Currently, only 5% of our faculty have PhDs and only 20% have
Masters degrees; the K to 12 Transition scholarships will thus
complement our ongoing faculty development by:
Helping develop expertise in ECCD as there is currently no
provider of this degree program in the region;
Having additional 2 faculty scholars to help us move from
COD to COE status even if we have sent 3 faculty members
for studies already,
This will help the English Department
This scholarship is in line with our plan to develop our faculty
and staff in the English department to strengthen their research
capacity in the area of linguistics
This scholarship will be beneficial because the scholar will earn
a master's degree, which is a CHED requirement.
Mr. de la Cruz will help in creating a framework for Adult
