Three new campuses and a pioneering bachelor course in real-estate management highlight the innovations that Manuel L. Quezon University (MLQU) is currently making, as part of its commitment to quality education.
Its acquisition by New San Jose Builders Inc. (NSJBI) in 2014, enabled MLQU to make significant changes towards achieving excellence in education. Recently, the university launched its School for Professional Advancement and Continuing Education (SPACE), aimed at producing top graduates in law and other professions.
“Aside from the redevelopment of our Hidalgo campus in Manila, alongside the MLQU SPACE located at Victoria Sports Tower in Edsa, we shall soon build our academic campus offering law and basic education courses in Balanga, Bataan, and another basic education school in Caloocan,” said NSJBI co-chairman and MLQU president Dr. Isagani Germar. “Moreover, we shall soon offer a bachelor’s course in real estate management to further boost the growth of the real estate industry in the country and make the industry competitive in the Asian region.”
President Benigno Aquino III was conferred an honorary degree in Public Administration by MLQU during the university’s graduation rites last April 20. Aquino was recognized for making significant strides in elevating the quality of education in the country. In his first two years in office, the government successfully plugged the backlog of 61.7-million textbooks and 2.5-million school chairs. In 2013, the backlog of 66,800 classrooms and 145,827 teachers was addressed. The Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, also known as the K to 12 Program was also passed under Aquino’s term.
