Graduate School Dean Marilu Madrunio is set to join the Foundation for Upgrading the Standard of Education (FUSE), replacing Milagros Ibe, former dean of the University of the Philippines College of Education.

Programs include regular teacher training workshops; a post-graduate scholarship program for science and engineering teachers; production and distribution of “telecourses” in English, elementary science, chemistry, physics and math; and partnerships with government and private learning institutions.
