We were treated to a string of inspiring news in the past couple of days about numerous high school students in the provinces who have been offered admission and scholarships in universities abroad.
These are personal feats, but we delight in their achievements because they’re products of the taxpayer-supported Philippine Science High School system which has 16 campuses all over our country.
There are many more students from the other PSHS campuses who received similar offers. Department of Science and Technology Secretary Fortunato de la Peña disclosed that a total of 81 PSHS graduates got admission offers from 90 prestigious universities abroad, mostly with full scholarships. Among the universities that have given admission offers to our young science and mathematics scholars are Yale University, Duke University, New York University, University of California at Berkeley, National Tsing Hua University , King’s College London, Trinity College Dublin, Rangsit University , Jacobs University Bremen , and University of Sydney.
It’s welcome news that the PSHS has expanded from the single Quezon City campus it used to have, to almost a campus each in all our regions. Giving access to quality education to our brilliant but poor children scattered all over our islands will always be a praiseworthy public investment. We must also commend the growing number of our cities that have established science high schools in numerous provinces.
