Parents, including single parents, often find it challenging to attend classes on campus or on-site due to their childcare and family duties. The PUP Open University System (PUP OUS), also known as the “Pamantasang Bayan,” provides them with the opportunity to study from home, enabling them to balance their family responsibilities while pursuing their academic goals.
The PUP OUS is a fresh and innovative system of delivering higher educational services, distinct from the formal, highly structured, and classroom-oriented traditional approach.
The PUP Open University System (OUS) attracts a variety of local residents, including parents, people in remote areas, and adult learners, each with their own reasons for choosing this mode of education.
