THE Isabela State University and Bulacan State University signed a pact for academic collaboration between the two educational institutions.

According to ISU, the partnership aims to develop partnerships in areas of faculty and student exchange, lectures, symposia, capacity-building programs, and academic information and materials.

ISU said the partnership will be based on equality and reciprocity in the said programs.

“…both parties agreed to be open to collaborate and explore possible partnerships in the areas of research and extension, and support in the continued quest for higher levels of accreditation in various agencies for the attainment of quality excellence in higher education,” ISU said on its website.

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between both parties led by its presidents, ISU’s Ricmar Aquino and BulSU’s Teody Andres during ISU’s second university academic summit.

ISU held an academic summit on February 20-21 in a bid to champion educational excellence among school heads.
