Southern Leyte State University

The formulation of the Vision of the university is aligned and influenced by the 2015 ASEAN Integration and Higher Education Rationalization of HEIs and Programs which is a component of the strategic plan of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The aligning of HEI programs with national development, Typology and Amalgamation Programs are to be considered moving forward in order for the university to sustain its relevance and contribute to the overall societal goal in attaining inclusive growth and sustainable development.

With the reality of ASEAN Integration, typology (CMO 46) and amalgamation (CHED’s Strategic Plan) moves, restructuring of programs are imperative for the development of the university into a specialized institution. With Science and Technology as the main area of specialization, the university will be able to focus and be recognized for such excellence according to a harmonized quality assurance (CMO 46) criteria in due time.

Alongside this new vision, the university shall maintain the current mandated and priority programs and deliver the mandated services in Instruction, Research and Extension with Science and Technology application in order to attain the goal of human development and poverty reduction, inclusive growth and sustainable development.

The new vision reflects not only a university with a specific area of specialization but aspire for an organization with attributes of a corporate university, a strategic tool designed to assist its parent organization in achieving its goals by conducting activities that foster individual and organizational learning and knowledge. Also, it has the capacity to start and support change in the organization, get the most out of the investment in education, remain competitive in today’s economy and bring a common culture, loyalty and sense of belongingness.
