The internationalization of the Philippines’ higher education institutions (HEIs) is doubtless beneficial in molding the next generation of global citizens. But most HEIs find that insufficient financial resources still pose a huge barrier for all involved, whether students, faculty, administration or staff.

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.
