BACOLOD CITY -- The Technological University of the Philippines (TUP)-Visayas in Talisay City, Negros Occidental has collaborated with two public high schools here for knowledge and skills sharing, as part of its educational and institutional partnerships for basic education program.
The partner-schools include the Negros Occidental High School (NOHS) and the Bacolod City National High School (BCNHS), which will be part of the E.A.S.Y initiative.
The parties will engage in Expertise collaboration, Alignment of program content, Sharing of facilities and equipment, and Yearly feedback for students who enter TUP-Visayas.
Eric Malo-oy, officer-in-charge campus director of TUP-Visayas, said in a statement on Monday the academic collaboration presents opportunities for faculty members to learn new teaching tools, and for the students to increase their knowledge and skills, and to learn different approaches to address various problems.
This also aims to help students achieve relevant learning experiences to prepare them for tertiary level education, particularly in engineering, technological education and training, he added.
The collaborations were formalized with the recent signing of memoranda of agreement between Malo-oy, NOHS principal Mario Amaca and BCNHS principal Laila Arro in separate ceremonies.
“This will also equip and enable the teachers to deliver effective results in academic and technical transfers of learning,” Malo-oy said.
There will be hubs, where students and teachers can gather and be trained for capacity building which does not incur cost, but will instead achieve both institutions’ goal of producing excellent engineers and technicians with character and moral values.
Through these collaborations, the paradigm of student learning becomes developmental, relative, and effective, since both the secondary schools and the higher institutions work hand-in-hand in nation-building. (PNA)
