The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) expressed its support for the Department of Transportation’s (DOTr) Philippine Railway Institute (PRI) through providing incentives for continuing education for personnel who will run the railway sector, and through developing university-to-university linkages in railway research and development.

Department of Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade and Commission on Higher Education Chairperson J. Prospero De Vera III during the 3rd Joint Coordination Committee Meeting of the Philippine Railways Institute – Technical Cooperation Project.

The PRI, which was created by President Duterte under Executive Order No. 96, will serve as a research and training center under the DOTr in response to the “urgent need to develop human resource capacities of railway personnel, to ensure their availability and competence, and guarantee their compliance with generally accepted standards of practice, as well as the rules and regulations pertaining to the safety, operation, and maintenance of railways.

In a recent meeting with DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade, representatives of the Japan International Cooperation Agency , and officials of the PRI, De Vera said it was discussed how CHED can be part of the expanded scope of the DOTr PRI which now includes sustainable railway development, regulatory and management regimes, and trusted operator and sound environment.

CHED is also tasked to review content and outcomes contained in the PRI certificate program and embedding these into the existing engineering curricula and elective subjects for students to learn about railways engineering while they are at the university level.
