Learning exchange supports Australia and Philippines partnership
In March, TEQSA senior staff visited Quezon City, the Philippines, to share information and exchange learnings with colleagues from the Philippines’ Commission of Higher Education.
The exchange is part of a 3-year program, supported by the Australian Government’s Southeast Asia and Australia Governance Partnerships program (SEAG2G). SEAG2G seeks to develop deeper institutional partnerships between Australia and Southeast Asia. It aims to increase awareness and understanding of the common opportunities and challenges faced by Australia and our Southeast Asian neighbours and share institutional knowledge and expertise. The program also seeks to support the establishment of high quality transnational education in the Philippines and other South East Asian nations.
Further, this sharing of knowledge and expertise looks to support the development and delivery of effective responses to critical economic development opportunities and challenges – such as higher education and transnational education.
During the exchange, TEQSA staff shared their knowledge and experience on topics such as balancing regulation and education, quality in transnational education, and institutional quality assurance.
TEQSA would like to thank the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for sponsoring the SEAG2G initiative, and our Commission of Higher Education colleagues for their warm hospitality and hosting this valuable event.
