BukSU joins Higher Education Summit to advance ACHIEVE Agenda

Bukidnon State University (BukSU) participated in the Higher Education Summit 2026 on March 10-12, 2026, organized by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in partnership with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST),  at the SMX Convention Center Clark in Angeles City, Pampanga. Representing the university were BukSU President Dr. Joy M. Mirasol and Ms. Joanne Vivien B. Necosia, Director of the Presidential Management Staff.

Leaders from state universities and colleges, local universities and colleges, and private higher education institutions from across the country joined to learn and and advance the ACHIEVE Agenda, which outlines key strategies for strengthening institutional resilience, innovation, and lifelong learning within the Philippine higher education sector.

Anchored on the theme, “Achieving Sustainable Futures: Transformative Higher Education for Human Capital, Innovation, and Global Responsibility,” the event featured discussions on priority areas such as lifelong learning, human capital, development, SDG-based research and innovation, internationalization, data-driven governance, and efficient public service. A segment of the summit also focused on strengthening collaboration and evidence-based policymaking to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals within the higher education sector.

BukSU’s participation reflects the university’s continued engagement in national initiatives that promote transformative higher education and support the development of future-ready institutions. (Joanne Vivien B. Necosia/ Head, Presidential Management Staff)
