City officials recently congratulated and commended the Saint Louis University (SLU) for ranking 40th in industrial application, 43rd in entrepreneurial spirit and 29 in industrial revolution by the World University Ranking for Innovation (WURI).
In a resolution, local legislators stated that the feat of SLU shows and continues to uphold the city’s title as the education capital of the north where it illustrates that schools based in the city can also be globally competitive.
WURI, is an established international ranking system where it aims to move away from conventional rankings that primarily emphasizes quantitative metrics associated with research and academic systems. Instead, WURI focuses on recognizing innovative programs that make a genuine difference in society.
The council claimed that this year’s rankings were meticulously organized by the International Policy and Strategy on National Competitiveness (IPSNC) of South Korea.
Further, the IPSNC received evaluation support from four prestigious organizations such as the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), HLU, the Institute for Industrial Policy Studies based in Seoul, South Korea, and the Taylor Institute for Franklin University in Switzerland.
Six higher education institutions in the Cordillera Administrative Region have achieved remarkable recognition on a global scale.
Earlier, the WURI acknowledged the impressive performance of the said institutions across six crucial criteria.
SLU, a school based in the city, ranked 40th in industrial application, 43rd in entrepreneurial spirit and 29th in industrial revolution in the criteria and categories as ranked by the WURI.
