USC Education students present research in Japan Sakura, TWINCLE programs

The University of San Carlos School of Education (USC SEd) continues to expand its global  footprint following a highly successful series of academic engagements at Chiba University (CU) and Shikoku University (SU) in Japan in February 2026.

The USC delegation played a prominent role in the activities of the Spring Institute of Asia and the ASEAN Center of Educational Research, where several Science Education (Sc.Ed.) students showcased their scholarly work during the International Research Session on February 8, 2026.

Cordova (Ph.D. Sc.Ed. student), Lucky Faith B. Guisando (Ph.D. Sc.Ed. student), and Jorome C. Tolete (M.A. Sc.Ed. student).

Among the student representatives were graduate students Williza M. Cordova and Jorome C. Tolete, who participated in the prestigious Sakura Science Exchange Program administered by the Japan Science and Technology (JST) Agency. They were joined by Ph.D. Sc.Ed. student Lucky Faith B. Guisando, who represented USC in the Twin College Envoys (TWINCLE) Exchange Program with the support of the Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO). 

Leading the delegation’s professional engagements were Dr. Rolando V. Obiedo (Dean, USC SEd) and Dr. Rita May P. Tagalog (Coordinator, SEd Linkages and Internationalization) who participated in the Annual Meeting of the Asia and ASEAN Center for Educational Research. Dr. Obiedo presented his latest research findings during the meeting, while Dr. Tagalog contributed her expertise as a panelist during the International Research Session. 

Their active participation underscores USC’s leadership in shaping educational research trends within the ASEAN and Asian regions. (USC SEd also participated in last year’s TWINCLE program, see related story, while USC Pharmacy students participated in the Sakura program in 2023, see related story.)

Beyond the conference rooms of Chiba University, the mission extended to Tokushima Prefecture for a strategic visit to Shikoku University. This leg of the trip was dedicated to finalizing the upcoming student exchange program for USC SEd undergraduate students.

The visit included an extensive ocular inspection of campus facilities and dormitories. According to Dr. Tagalog, the discussions with Shikoku University officials focused on strengthening bilateral ties and exploring new avenues for  internships and teacher-education collaborations. 

This mission marks another significant milestone in USC SEd’s commitment to providing faculty and students with transformative international experiences and fostering enduring academic partnerships across Asia.
