Quality Education
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
As a leading university in the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila is committed to providing high-quality education. The university offers both free and paid access to its libraries and fosters creativity and innovation through its learning spaces. Ateneo Graduate School of Business' Center for Continuing Education also provides opportunities for lifelong learning skills to the public. Various schools, departments, and centers within the university, such as the Institute of Philippine Culture and the Ateneo School of Government, contribute to public access to learning through open access and online seminars.
Ateneo also aims to promote inclusive education by offering scholarships that target underrepresented groups. Scholarships are available for disadvantaged individuals, women, and persons with disabilities (PWDs) at the graduate level, ensuring access to education while promoting diversity, equality, and inclusion.
Over the past three years, there has been a consistent increase in the percentage of graduates with teaching qualifications, reflecting successful efforts to prepare graduates for careers in education better. Similarly, lifelong learning measures have demonstrated positive growth, emphasizing a commitment to continuous learning opportunities beyond traditional education. However, there has been a slight decline in the percentage of first-generation students, highlighting the importance of inclusive policies and support mechanisms to ensure equitable access to education for all. Recommendations include enhancing preparation for careers in education, fostering lifelong learning through diverse programs, and prioritizing inclusive policies for first-generation students to promote diversity and equal opportunities in higher education.
