Pinoy scholars sa isang EU scholarship program, kabilang sa mga pinakamahuhusay na estudyante

Kung olympic event daw ang Erasmus+ scholarship program ng European Union, paniguradong nakakuha na ng ‘gold medal’ ang Pilipinas. Iyan ang pahayag ng EU delegation sa Pilipinas hinggil sa performance ng Pinoy scholars sa naturang academic program. 

Consistent din umano ang Pilipinas bilang parte ng top 10 countries na may pinakamalaking delegasyon na naipapadala sa Erasmus+ program taun-taon, mula pa noong 2004.

“If there can be an Olympics among the Erasmus+ scholars, Filipinos will be among the gold medalists. Worldwide, the Philippines has been among the top ten countries, with the highest number of scholars from 2004 to 2020. More than 600 Filipino scholars availed of the Erasmus+ scholarship and mobility (MA and Ph D) programs,” ayon sa EU Delegation to the Philippines.

“And these Filipino youth are setting the bar high in the European Union.  An initial survey conducted by the Delegation  of the European Union to the Philippines showed more than 40 Filipino scholars have  either graduated with honors (Cum Laude to Summa Cum Laude) or have their works published in  scholarly journals,” dagdag pa nila.

Ang Erasmus+ ay isang EU program na naglalayong palawigin ang edukasyon ng kanilang mga scholars mula sa iba’t-ibang bansa. Kamakailan lamang ay nagpadala ang Pilipinas ng 65 qualifying scholars para sa Erasmus+. Basahin ang detalye dito. 

Ayon sa EU delegation to the Philippines, dalawa sa mga Pinoy scholars ngayong taon ang magtatapos bilang Summa Cum Laude sa kanilang mga Master’s Degrees.

He studied in 7 universities, learned 6 languages, obtained five Master’s degrees and received three online certifications in prestigious colleges.  He is undertaking four research publications.” anang EU delegation to the Philippines.

“Assistant Professor Jay Michael Cordero from the University of San Agustin-Iloilo is graduating this 11 September in KU Leuven, Belgium.  From someone who did not have a thorough background in sports ethics, Jay Michael started to read books and articles in sports ethics three months before the classes started,” dagdag pa nila.
