As the University of Antique (UA) continues to strengthen its internationalization efforts and expand its connections with the global community, the International Affairs Unit conducted a two-day Training-Workshop on Developing International Competencies: Strengthening Institutional Readiness for Global Challenges in Philippine Higher Education on September 29–30, 2026, at Busali-an Hall.

The training-workshop aims to equip the academe’s leaders, deans, and program heads with the competencies, framework alignments, and policy insights needed to become internationally responsive and help build resilient, sustainable, and globally competitive academic ecosystems.

Prof. Ryan C. Dayuta, Director of the Linkages and International Office of the Philippine Normal University, discussed internationalization dynamics, emerging global trends, and institutional readiness.

His sessions guided participants in developing impactful internationalization strategies aligned with global benchmarking frameworks and the thrusts of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

Today’s sessions will continue with various workshops, including a Writeshop on Evidence-Based Narrative Documentation and Data Mapping for Global Impact Rankings, facilitated by Jerome L. Doque, MA, Chief of the Sustainability Unit of Tarlac Agricultural University.
