CHED and IBM to Develop a Comprehensive Analytics Education Master Plan for the Philippines

    QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES – December 6, 2012: The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and IBM today signed an agreement to collaborate on developing a comprehensive analytics education master plan for Philippine higher education institutions in order to prepare the country’s workforce for the emerging trend towards analytics.

    Created as part of a broad agenda of reforms on the country’s education system, CHED is responsible for formulating plans, policies and strategies relating to higher education. The Commission on Higher Education will cooperate with IBM to review the existing academic curriculum, and recommend courses to develop the necessary skills in the areas of analytics; identify job opportunities which will be created in key industries as a result of the application of analytics; and form a Smarter Education Consortium with membership from academe, government and industry to act as an advisory council and consultative body on next-generation education policies and reforms.

    “Stronger links with industry and technological innovations are essential for national development and progress. The government, several industries and companies, and key higher education institutions are collaborating in developing programs to train the future workforce in analytics.” said Chairperson Patricia B. Licuanan, CHED. “IBM has the global experience and expertise in promoting analytics education programs, thought leadership, teacher professional development, curriculum development, as well as knowledge and expertise in the field of analytics,” said Mariels Almeda Winhoffer. “Analytics is a huge market opportunity globally and IBM has recognized the potential for the Philippines to be the Global Center for Analytics due to its world-class human capital resource, growing technical skill and proven success and experience in business process outsourcing.” “We share the same sentiments with IBM on how analytics can be the new game changer. It allows organizations to make more informed and accurate decisions that will enable organizations to accurately anticipate and predict outcomes. This cooperation will enable us to leverage IBM’s best practice in this area to prepare our students to participate in the emerging global market opportunity for analytics, estimated to be about US$160 billion by 2015,” said Licuanan. Recently, an international team of IBM volunteers worked with CHED under the auspices of the IBM Corporate Service Corp (CSC) program. At the end of the month- long assignment in October, the team provided initial recommendations to CHED, identifying ways to position the Philippines as an analytics education and technology hub for the region. The IBM CSC program, often called the corporate version of the “Peace Corps”, was developed to help IBM employees become effective 21st century global leaders and citizens while helping solve complex problems in developing countries like the Philippines.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
