De
La Salle University-Manila, true to its mission of providing
quality education for all, approved Ateneo de Zamboanga’s
(ADZ) request to help develop their faculty in the doctoral
level.
Last February 2, DLSU System President Brother Rolando Dizon,
FSC and ADZ President Fr. William Kreutz signed a Memorandum
of Agreement to formalize the non-residential extension program
to be provided for Ateneo teachers.
To
achieve university status, ADZ is currently working on a requirement
by the Commission on Higher Education to have more doctorate
degree holders in its faculty.
With the assistance of DLSU-Manila’s College of Education
(CED), the ADZ faculty are now able to attend classes for
PhD programs in Science Education and Applied Linguistics.
This is the first extension program at the doctoral level
in the Philippines, according to CED Dean Dr. Allan Bernardo.
Through this program, DLSU-Manila hopes to provide as much
quality education to deserving scholars.
Aside from bringing the program to the provinces, Bernardo
said qualified applicants also get to avail of a number of
scholarships.
CED
has helped Ateneo get scholarships from the Fund Assistance
to Private Education (FAPE) to finance all the students included
in the program.
“The Dominicans and now, the Jesuit schools are coming to
us. They see that it doesn’t matter if they are from a different
congregation,” Bernardo said, adding that other academic institutions
have cited CED for providing creative and alternative approaches
to the delivery of graduate programs.
These schools have also cited La Salle for being very supportive,
encouraging, and accomodating, he added.
Bernardo also pointed out that DLSU-Manila is in many ways
privileged because of the PhD holders in its faculty roster.
In CED alone, 60 percent of full time faculty have doctoral
degrees.
