00:00President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. says the Philippines has made strides in improving the quality of tertiary education
00:07but acknowledges that it still has its work cut out for it due to the country's poor showing in university rankings in Asia.
00:13The Times Higher Education's 2024 Asia University Rankings shows that no Philippine higher education institution, or HEI, made it to the top 100.
00:23In that list, Ateneo de Manila University placed in the 401 to 500 bracket, slipping from 84th place in the previous year.
00:30Dallas Hall University and the University of the Philippines ranked 501st to 600th, while the University of Santo Tomas and Mapuha University were in the 601-plus rank.
00:40This just goes to show that much work is still to be done.
00:44We must pursue a comprehensive and all-encompassing strategy that will turn this trend around.
