To ramp up the school’s readiness for the global stage, a discussion meeting was held at Sudapin Coffee, Kidapawan City, on September 19, 2025, on Internationalization and Global Rankings, an initiative or drive by the Commission on Higher Education, Regional Office XII, in boosting the global competitiveness among higher education institutions.
Dr. Genaro “Bong” R. Andres, Supervising Education Program Specialist, delivered a message from the Regional Director, Dr. Rody Garcia, to encourage the Colegio de Kidapawan to further its efforts in providing quality education globally and challenge the administration to strive towards an international presence and recognition.
The orientation kicked off with Mr. Janreve M. Odango, LPT, breaking down the essentials for Internationalization and Global Rankings. He mapped out the CHED IZN Roadmap and decoded international ranking giants, such as Times Higher Education (THE) and the World’s Universities and Real Impact (WURI), giving participants the inside scoop on what it takes to shine globally.
Furthermore, Danstone Guy P. Dayaday, Education Supervisor II and IZN Focal Person, shared insights on weaving internationalization into the core strategies of higher education institutions. His talk highlighted CHED’s robust 7-point ACHIEVE framework —a game plan for schools like Colegio de Kidapawan to achieve global excellence.
This event not only turbocharges Colegio de Kidapawan’s global ambitions but also signals a future where students can confidently step onto the world stage, knowing their institution is geared towards greatness with the expert guidance of CHEd.
