Aligned with The Philippines' overarching aspirations, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) envisions a Philippine higher education system that is equitable and produces locally responsive, innovative, and globally competitive graduates and lifelong learners. Internationalization (IZN) has become more vital in paving the way to realize our vision by being the driver of quality, relevant, and sustainable trailblazing international opportunities for institutions, agencies, and other stakeholders that will transform the country into a globally competitive knowledge society by 2040.

Against this backdrop, we are now adopting the Philippine Higher Education Internationalization Roadmap 2023-2027 as the blueprint that not only guides the agency in contributing to major national and regional higher education priorities, but also mandates Philippine higher education institutions (PHEIs) to internationalize and continuously upgrade the quality of higher education in the Philippines through academic and knowledge transfer outcomes.
