BESRA & the Need for Higher Education Reform

Prof. Dina Ocamp sent this invite to a forum via our PBBY Yahoogroup. Since I missed last year's forum on Educational Reform by the UP Diliman, I hope to attend this one to live blog and micro blog as well.

I'm not sure if it's an open invitation. There's a set of contact numbers below though.

Cordially invite you to a forum on

The Promise of Redemption: BESRA and the Need for Higher Education Reform

Panel Members

Arguing that Philippine education should be treated as cohesive passageways to learning, the panel examines the philosophical and practical underpinnings of current reform plans and proposals. The nature and pace of reforms already in place will be analyzed. Despite its rich and progressive content, for example, why has the Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA) not moved fast enough? The panel also extends its analysis to higher education and proposes guidelines for reform in the tertiary sector.
