CHED welcomes entry of 5 public HEIs in world university ranking  

Published Oct 12, 2022 08:05 pm

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) welcomed the entry of five State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) from the Philippines in the 2023 Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings (WUR).

In a statement issued Wednesday, Oct. 12, CHED Chairman Popoy De Vera noted that the performance of Philippine universities in the latest WUR released by THE has been a “milestone” for the country’s higher education.

Led by Ateneo de Manila University (AdMU), CHED said that 10 Philippine higher education institutions (HEIs) made it to the 2023 WUR.

Moreover, De Vera noted that the entry of five SUCs in the rankings is the “highest number of Philippine public universities making it in any world university rankings.”

The five SUCs were Cebu Technological University, Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of Technology, Tarlac Agricultural University, University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines, and Visayas State University.

These SUCs, however, were given “Reporter” status which means that they provided data but did not meet the eligibility criteria of THE to “receive a rank” but “agreed to be displayed” as such in the final table.

CHED noted that the 2023 WUR is considered as the most diverse and largest ranking published by THE with 1,799 universities across 104 countries and regions participating.

THE WUR, CHED said, is one of the “most definitive lists of world's best research-led institutions.”

CHED noted that the insights and data curated from this list “have been adopted as a geo-political indicator as well as an aid to strategic management of institutions and a crucial factor in the study choices made by millions of students around the world and their employment prospects.”

Meanwhile, De Vera explained that the latest ranking is “critical to achieve the directive” of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. that Philippine HEIs “must produce industry-ready graduates for the local and international employment market.”

CHED said that the WUR list covers 13 carefully calibrated performance indicators that measure an institution’s performance across four areas: teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and international outlook.

Harvard tops the teaching pillar, while Oxford leads the research pillar. Atop the international pillar is the Macau University of Science and Technology.

In encouraging Philippine HEIs to pursue a programmatic and holistic approach in their internationalization strategy, De Vera noted that CHED “prioritizes the bridging” of PHL higher education to a world-class status through breakthroughs in internationalization and Transnational Higher Education (TNHE) to create milestones in nation-building and economic recovery.

“This means a complete recalibration of the internationalization strategy by aligning it with the CHED Strategic Plan 2022-2028 and the thrusts of the President Marcos' administration,” he added.
