Among the 5,004 entries submitted by colleges and universities worldwide in the Culture/Values category, the EDUKalEDAD program of Norzagaray College ranked 66th in the prestigious World University Rankings for Innovation (WURI) 2026. The EDUKalEDAD program aims to promote well-being, social engagement, and continuous personal growth among older adults in the community.

WURI is an international ranking system that evaluates higher education institutions based on their real-world contributions, innovative research, and societal impact, rather than traditional academic metrics. It highlights how universities and colleges foster innovation and active engagement with society.

The inclusion in the international rankings places the institution among recognized higher education institutions worldwide that continue to make meaningful contributions to education and community engagement.

College officials, headed by Dr. Ma. Liberty DG. Pascual expressed gratitude to faculty members, students, alumni, and stakeholders whose dedication and hard work contributed to the achievement. According to the administration, the recognition serves not only as a symbol of excellence but also as an inspiration to strengthen further academic programs, research initiatives, and international partnerships.

“We owe gratitude to the support of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Region III and our local government led by Hon. Mayor Maria Elena Germar. Norzagaray College may seem like just a small local community college, but with this milestone, we have proven that, through our passion, dedication, and collective effort, even a small community college can make an impact. This will continue to motivate us to provide accessible, relevant, and globally competitive education,” said Dr. Pascual.

Students also shared their pride and excitement about the recognition, emphasizing that the achievement boosts the institution’s reputation and opens up greater opportunities for learners and graduates.

Recognition in the world rankings is expected to further enhance the college’s credibility, attract future collaborations, and encourage continuous innovation in teaching and learning.

As Norzagaray College reaches another milestone, the institution remains steadfast in its mission to produce competent, socially responsible, and globally competitive graduates who will contribute meaningfully to society.

Congratulations, Norzagaray College! 👏👏👏

May 6, 2026 | MOA Signing for the Science Activity Manual on Realia Expo (SAM) and Science Activity and Laboratory Manual (SALM)

Norzagaray College, headed by Dr. Ma. Liberty DG. Pascual, College President, and Norzagaray National High School, led by Dr. Luisito V. De Guzman, School Principal IV, formally conducted the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Signing for the implementation and utilization of two innovative instructional materials aimed at strengthening science education and experiential learning.

The partnership covers the implementation of the:

Science Activity Manual on Realia Expo (SAM)
A learning material designed to promote experiential and interactive science learning through the use of real-life objects, exhibits, and activity-based approaches that enhance students’ understanding of scientific concepts and applications.

Science Activity and Laboratory Manual (SALM)
A comprehensive laboratory-based instructional material developed to improve students’ scientific investigation skills, laboratory competencies, critical thinking, and proper application of scientific procedures and safety practices.

Through this collaboration, both institutions reaffirm their commitment to promoting quality education, innovative instruction, and learner-centered teaching approaches that foster academic excellence in science education.

The initiative further highlights the shared vision of Norzagaray College and Norzagaray National High School in strengthening academic collaboration, instructional innovation, and meaningful educational partnerships for the benefit of learners and the community.

Together, we continue to empower students through science, innovation, and transformative learning experiences.
