UP Open University marks 10 years of digital education
THE University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU) is at the forefront of digital learning in the Philippines. On February 23, UPOU celebrates its 10th foundation anniversary with the theme: "Creativity, Collaboration and Convergence".
The highlight of the 10th anniversary is the presentation of the UPOU Oblation by UPOU Chancellor Felix Librero to new UP President Emerlinda Roman at the UPOU headquarters in Los Banos, Laguna.
The UPOU Oblation is embraced by a swirling form likened to the Philippine flag with the stars representing Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao and with the prominent image of the sun representing education. The flowing form lifting the Oblation towards the sky represents open access to quality UP education in the cyber world.
The UPOU Oblation was executed by Dr. Grace J. Alfonso, director of the UPOU Multimedia Center. It is based on the original Oblation whose cast is permanently kept in the UP Library in Diliman, Quezon City.
Other activities at the daylong affair will include the lowering of a time capsule at the base of the Oblation and a keynote address by Roman. UPOU will award certificates and plaques of recognition to its partners and sponsors that have helped it reach its 10th year of successful advocacy and implementation of distance learning in the Philippines.
Librero is chancellor of UPOU assisted by Dr. Victoria A. Bautista, vice chancellor for academic affairs, and Dr. Melinda Lumanta, vice chancellor for finance and administration. (PR)
