Republic Act No. 11448, also known as Transnational Higher Education Act, will address the noted lack of internationalization policies and strategies of Philippines higher education institutions while expanding access to education through transnational higher education opportunities. Stakeholders from the higher education sector may soon fully enjoy the advantages offered by internationalization and transnational higher education, said Atty. Lily Freida M. Milla, Officer-in-Charge of the Office of the Deputy Executive Director and Director for International Affairs of the Commission on Higher Education.

The internationalization program of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) need strategic leaders who are able to create opportunities to implement transformational changes within an organization. This is according to Dr. Feliciano G. Calora, Jr., president of Benguet State University, a member of the Internationalization of the Higher Education in the Philippines Network (ANTENA) Project led by the University of Alicante in Spain with the support of the University of Montpellier in France and the European Foundation for Management Development. Other members are Ateneo de Manila University, Central Luzon State University, De La Salle University, Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Saint Louis University, University of the Philippines, University of San Carlos and Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan and the Commission on Higher Education.
