The UP General Education program aims to provide students with a foundation of study that will broaden their intellectual and cultural horizons, hone critical and creative thinking, develop their passion for learning and scholarship, cultivate a high sense of intellectual and moral integrity, and foster a commitment to nationalism and social justice.
It is imperative to continue to critically reflect on the fulfillment of the GE mandate amidst unfolding national and global crises and profound changes in the higher education landscape. The 2022 UP GE Conference is a venue for us to:
Reflect on the new global and national context for GE, including challenges confronting liberal education; and
Articulate new directions and imperatives for GE in the 21st century.
The virtual conference will feature keynote, plenary, and parallel sessions on global perspectives on liberal and general education, the UP GE program and the Filipino nation, and teaching and learning GE.
