  3. II. Emphases of UP Education First, leadership ability (32%), which includes independence, articulateness, assertiveness and self-confidence; Second, the work ethic (27%), notably patience, discipline, diligence, resourcefulness and efficiency; and Third, intellectual capacities (24%), which include critical/analytical thinking, academic excellence and creativity.

  4. II. Emphases of UP Education A far fourth is social orientation (11%), showing relatively weak compassion, a weak sense of service and a weak pro-people inclination; Ethical/moral uprightness, exemplified by honesty and integrity, was at the bottom of the list (2.9%).

  5. II. Emphases of UP Education These perceptions of UP students of the kind of education they are getting are disturbing and sobering. (Maria Luisa C. Doronila, Ledivina V. Cariño, et al. The Meaning of UP Education. 1993. Also known as the KAVS Study, for Knowledge, Attitudes, Values Study. UP Education Research Program. UCIDS.)

  6. III. Fulfilling the Leadership Roles of UP as the National University • Develop the UP President’s capacity to lead the UP System itself (Internal leadership of UP). • Develop UP’s capacity for leadership in national and international higher education (External leadership).

  7. Developing the leadership capacities of the UP President and of UP as a whole • Make every college a “national college.” Many but not all of our colleges are now virtual “national colleges.”

Vision of UP as the National University Linking our vision for UP as the National University to the nation's vision for our society in the Constitution, UP shall contribute to the nation’s learning for truth, leadership and social transformation. To this end UP shall lead in improving the nation’s system of higher education.

  20. Mission of UP as the National University UP faculty and scholars shall therefore help in building a peaceful, democratic, just and humane, and sustainable society and world - through their teaching, research, extension, and public service.
