Under this partnership, PNU—through the Research Institute for Teacher Quality PH—will provide research expertise and evidence-based insights to support EDCOM II’s mandate of informing policy development and educational reform. In return, EDCOM II will offer guidance to PNU in shaping future projects that align with both institutions’ priorities.

Under the agreement, PNU and RITQ have committed to pursuing several key research and policy initiatives to aid EDCOM II’s mandate. These include i) research initiatives for pre-service teacher education, ii) research on teacher education institutions (TEIs) including the profiling and upskilling of teacher educators to better align with the needs of DepEd Philippines iii) knowledge exchange through consultations, public data, briefings, and seminars/webinars, iv) and the development of a policy paper in collaboration with EDCOM 2.

PNU and RITQ will also organize research teams to collaborate on policy-relevant studies and workshops, which will inform EDCOM II’s policy questions and contribute to the Commission’s legislative agenda.

In addition to research collaborations, both organizations have agreed to share knowledge and data, including exchanging public data, research papers, briefings, and participating in consultations, seminars, and webinars.

The partnership also aims to produce a collaborative policy paper that will address key educational challenges and provide recommendations for improving teacher quality and education systems in the Philippines. (RITQ Communications)
