Quest for enhancing educational opportunities in Quezon City
Quest for enhancing educational opportunities in Quezon City
Through the years, Quezon City has gained the reputation as the educational hub of the country, as it became the favored location of more and more learning institutions in the Philippines. Within the city can be found 87 tertiary-level institutions, 40 of which offer academic degrees while 47 specialize in tech/voc education.
In 2001, a charter established the Quezon City Polytechnic University. Mayor Feliciano Belmonte, Jr. realized that his administration had inherited what is a university in name, but a technical vocational institute in practice. The charter became the first of many steps in putting the institution in its right framework.
In 2003, the Belmonte Administration began retooling and upgrading the capacity of the institution to make QCPU, a university specializing in technology-based education.
Key to the transformation of the institution was the appointment of a new executive director. At that time, Dr. Ofelia M. Carague had just retired from heading the biggest public university in the country, the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP). At the PUP, Dr. Carague was known as one of the prime movers of the open university concept and the information and communication technology center.
Mayor Belmonte tapped her talents and expertise, especially her orientation towards the innovative applications of technology, to guide the university through its birth pains, and growth thrusts. In 2005, the university began offering its degree courses. It has been continuously evolving since then.
