CALGARY 07 July 2022 – The Philippine delegation, led by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Commissioner Aldrin Darilag, attended meetings with Alberta University Officials, organized by the Philippine Consulate General (PCG) in Calgary, during the delegation’s official visit to the city on 30 June 2022.
These meetings were with representatives from the Mount Royal University, University of Calgary, and University of Alberta, as well as with Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Advanced Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides. Consul General Zaldy Patron joined the delegation in the said meetings.
During the meeting with Premier Kenney and Minister Nicolaides, Commissioner Darilag and Consul General Patron raised the Philippines’ proposal for the delivery of Alberta’s nursing bridging program in the Philippines through accredited universities. The proposal is aligned with the ongoing project of the Philippine Posts in Canada to seek an easier process for the recognition of credentials of the Filipino nurses in Canada.
The visit to Calgary enabled CHED and the various Philippine universities to establish direct linkages with top universities in Alberta and identify potential areas of education cooperation between the Philippines and Alberta.
Commissioner Darilag was accompanied by representatives from CHED, the CHED Technical Panel for Nursing, 12 Philippine Higher Education Institutions, and the Canadian Embassy in Manila. END.
