THE University of the Cordilleras (UC) is tying-up with various schools in Southeast Asia and Australia for its graduates to earn global recognition.
The tie-up would help address “deficiencies” of the country’s curriculum especially in basic education compared to the rest of schools in the world, said UC president Ricardo Pama adding that the country lacks two years of basic education.
