Quality of
Education in the Philippines
The major American Universities and the Evaluating Agencies in the USA -
such as Jose Silny in Miami would shudder at the " equivalent to a Associate
degree in USA " statement. For the part, it takes over 160 college credit
hours to get a Filipino University Degree and less than 130 to get an
American Degree. All University classes in the Philippines are taught in
English. And each three PT's, 4 nurses, 2 CPA's, and 6 Engineers, I have
helped to get to the USA had all had their degrees assessed as " equivalent
to or surpassing" USA Degree Requirements.
That is why it is so absurd to me that an entire group of teachers and
medical people in the Philippines stand unemployed looking for jobs serving
fench fries or selling sneakers when the USA is 400,000 nurses and 600,000
teachers short. [Garry Muth]
