A MUST-READ (and must-share): Highlights of the FORUM ON THE PHILIPPINES ACADEMIC CALENDAR #1 But with which academic partners? UP has partnerships agreements with 6 Australian Universities (February Start) 38 Japanese Universities (April Start) 37 Korean Universities (March Start) these 81 Universities make up 43% of our global partners. THEY DO NOT START CLASSES IN SEPTEMBER ~ Dr. Evangeline C. Amor, University Registrar, on the UP Diliman Academic Calendar and Actual Partnership of the University #2 By itself, the change is unlikely( or at least uncertain) to lead to immediate improvement in the Universitys International Character, MORE IMPORTANT BINDING CONSTRAINTS MUST BE ADDRESSED. MORE SIGNIFICANT IS THE ALLOCATION OF MORE FACULTY TIME TO RESEARCH AND POST-GRADUATE EDUCATION ASIDE FROM THE PROFESSIONS. ~ Internationalization and the Universitys Global Standing: does calendar change matter? by Dr. Emmanuel De Dios, School of Economics #3 (Historically) IT WAS IMPORTANT TO IDENTIFY WHEN SCHOOLS WOULD BE CLOSED FOR VACATION THAN WHEN CLASSES SHOULD OPEN. considerations for vacation months: economic activities, cultural practices and comfort of the students in school. ~The Academic Calendar in the Philippines: A Historical Review by Dr. Maria Bernadette L.Abrera, Dept of History, CSSP #4 The Countrys Hottest Months of April and May are expected to increase by a Maximum of 1.3C in 2020 ~ Weather as Backdrop,by Dr. Laura David, MSI UP Diliman andF. Hilario, DOST-PAGASA #4 PRINCIPLES OF CROSS-BORDER HIGHER EDUCATION * cross-border higher education should strive to contribute to the broader economic, social and cultural well-being of communities * while cross-border education can flow in many different directions in a variety of contexts, it should strengthen developing countries higher education capacity in order to promote global equity. *in addition,to providing disciplinary and professional expertise, cross border higher education should strive to instill in learners the critical thinking that underpins responsible citizenship at the local, national and global levels. * cross-border higher education should be accessible not only to students who can afford to pay but also to qualified students with financial need. *cross-border higher education should meet the same high standards of academic and organizational quality no matter where it is delivered. ~Sharing Quality Higher Education Across Borders: A statement on behalf of higher education institutions worldwide by ACE,AUCC, CHEA and IAU, see UNESCO NOTE THAT SYNCHRONIZED CALENDARS ARE NEVER MENTIONED. CONLUSION: Our Academic Calendar is Attuned to our Climate and Culture. We need better government support to improve our research output and our academic programs. This will increase our stature internationally and attract more foreign students and faculty.
