Hiya Benildeans and Lasallians! :)
I'd like to know what you think of Brother Andrew's proposal for another La Salle School called the "St. Mutien Marie University College."
Basically, the University College (UC) will be a separate entity which will take all the upcoming freshmen from both the DLSU-CSB & DLSU-Manila and converge them into one campus.
There they will give the all the basic subjects which college students ought to take just like the system they are doing in abroad. Since we are operating as a multiversity system (that is ONE university with numerous campuses), the proponents are saying that this system would be easier and more efficient from what we are doing now (Just like Britain).
There are actually two ways which this will go:
First, is the Baccalaureate Program, wherein those applicants who passed the cut-off scores for both dlsu-csb and dlsu-manila will go straight to their college curriculum. They will be taking their basic subjects from the UC and continue on in their respective colleges where their courses are offered (i.e., dlsu-csb for bs-hrim, dlsu-manila for lia-com).
The second, is that for those applicants who did not meet the cut-off scores but met the passing average will be admitted to the UC, wherein they will have to take a year of Pre-Baccalaureate progam. There, they will be refreshed of their basic subjects in high schools. This is just like adding another year of high school studies. After a year, they will be assessed if they are worthy to step to serious college. Just like the community colleges in the United States.
Of course, there are incentives for those who are from La Salle run high schools. If they get the acceptable average, they may skip all the basic subjects and go to their majors. In that sense, they could finish their baccalaureate program in just two years!
There are several reasons that Brother Andrew enumerated in his proposal and these are some of them:
1. The high school students we have now (all over the country) are not fully equipped to be in college (he must know, he has been the DepEd Secretary and has been working in the academe almost all his life) and that they need to have additional years. And since he cannot enforce the idea all over the country, he ought to start in the Lasallian system which, in my opinion, he is hoping that the other schools will follow suit, just like the trimestral system which he started.
2. It has been noticable emotional immaturity with the young people today that they need more guidance and counseling. He thinks this could be addressed easily if they are in a common campus and of course, the additional year.
3. The alumni are taking them (the La Salle administration) to task for not accepting high school grads from La Salle School when they are the ones who gave them their secondary education. (For those who did not pass the entrance exams despite the fact that they are Lasallians). If this is the case, the alumni are implying that really, La Salle Secondary Education is not that good at all.)
4. DLSU-Manila is fastly shifting to becoming a RESEARCH University. All the subjects will now be research based and that putting the freshmen in the dlsu-manila campus will be much of a hassle (at least, in simple words, that is what he is saying). This will entail lots of money since doing research will really cost more. That will also lessen interaction with students so they have to pay the teachers more for the time they spend with students aside from that of research.
5. DLSU-CSB will be perking up their educational philosophy of innovative and learner-centered pedagogy. (not really brother andrew's, but so the grapevine says)
Here are the facts:
1. The UC will be a separate corporation. A legal entity separate from that of dlsu-csb and dlsu-manila.
2. The UC will be renting the dlsu-csb campus for Php 200.00 per square meter.
3. dlsu-csb will be transferred to a new building along P. Ocampo, Sr. St. (Vito Cruz). The building will be 12 storeys high and will accomodate all the 9,060 (at least now) students of dlsu-csb.
4. The floor space of the current csb campus is 25,000 sq meters.
5. The floor space of the new building will be 5,000 sq meters.
6. The average tuition fee of dlsu-csb is Php 52,000.00
7. The average tuition fee of dlsu-manila is Php 40,000.00
8. There will be a separate student affairs department for the UC, disctinct from that of the two other campuses. That also goes that the UC will have its own separate Student Council, organizations, etc...
9. dlsu-manila is a fully accredited (CHED & PAASCU) institution that they are given independence on whatever they want to do (they dont have to follow the curriculum dictated by the CHED).
10. dlsu-csb is still in the process of beginner's accreditation.
11. dlsu-manila will turn 100 years old this 2011.
12. dlsu-csb has just turned 15.
13. dlsu-manila's assets goes more or less 2.8 billion pesos (as of 2000)
14. dlsu-csb's assets goes more or less 1.6 billion pesos (as of 2000)
15. The dlsu system is fast expanding. It recently acquired the Gregorio Araneta University and has just started the construction of DLSU Canlubang , a secondary school.
Whew! these are just some of the facts. I think from this information we could already give our own piece....
Btw, this thread are for lasallians only (for the mean time) so ignore those who are not.
Ignore especially those who are commenting crap.
Thank you.
