A productive and insightful first day at the Dr. Mariano C. Lao Global Studies Center, Silliman University!

Participants from our partner higher education institutions came together to explore the fundamentals of micro-credentials, including competency alignment, assessment strategies, and stackability pathways. Through collaborative discussions and workshop activities, institutions began shaping their own micro-credential frameworks aligned with CHED and PQF standards.

We look forward to continuing the conversation tomorrow as we move into policy development and implementation strategies.
