In partnership with the Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM 2), 开元真人underscores its commitment to the development of the country鈥檚 education sector and the Filipino youth, in our shared journey toward genuine social transformation.

With EDCOM 2, our faculty embarked on a series of research projects that have allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of the various challenges in our educational landscape. These include our constant struggle to meet regional standards in Filipino students鈥 performance in Math, Science, and Reading; the growing incidence of bullying in schools and the need to set structures for a safe school environment; the need for sustained professional development for teachers; and the establishment of partnerships toward a more responsive, future-proof curriculum, among many others.

We remain steadfast in our mission to take on such challenges, guided by our vision-mission as 鈥渁 leading learner-centered and research University bridging faith and scholarship, attuned to a sustainable Earth, and in the service of Church and society, especially the poor and marginalized.鈥

Through EDCOM 2, we support the creation of new policies and programs that will enable our learners to access quality education, the kind that will allow them to holistically grow and be active contributors to the sustainable development of our society and the rest of the world.

This 2025 as we celebrate our Golden Jubilee as a University, we further push our boundaries to create impact as an internationally influential research and higher education institution. We seek to create new sources of national growth from a green knowledge ecosystem, with the firm belief that this is achievable for our education sector and our country. As we move forward with the lessons we have gained from EDCOM II, we hope to pursue path-breaking initiatives that will transform the lives of our people and continue meaningful partnerships in various sectors, from government and industry to our alumni network and global partners.
