The Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP), a grouping of Catholic educational institutions in the Philippines, said these include University of Santo Tomas, De La Salle University, and Adamson University.
“We can only show our support to them for taking the step towards a globally competitive education institution,” CEAP advocacy and information management officer Anthony Coloma said in an article posted on the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines news site.
He said the three are “autonomous schools” because they have a “long tradition of excellence in the area of education.”
Earlier, Ateneo announced it is shifting its calendar to start in August and end in May.
This applies to its undergraduate and graduate schools starting School Year 2015-2016.
“Although ADMU is a CEAP member school, it is their discretion and communal decision to move into a new school calendar,” Atty. Coloma said.
The CBCP also noted the University of the Philippines will adopt a new calendar that starts in August, starting academic year 2014-2015, except in the Diliman (Quezon City) campus. — LBG, GMA News
