Future-Proofing Philippine Higher Education Toward 2050: Filipino Educators’ Roles

Rowena May T. David | Adrian P. Maroma

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study explores the futures of Philippine higher education toward 2050. Using a qualitative–exploratory foresight approach, it employed STEEP analysis and Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) with data drawn from secondary sources such as policy papers, international reports, and scholarly works. The findings highlight artificial intelligence (AI) and modular learning as key opportunities for personalized and inclu-sive education. However, challenges persist in digital inequality, inad-equate infrastructure, and limited faculty readiness. Sustainability in-tegration is emerging but remains underdeveloped. The study recom-mends strengthening digital infrastructure, enhancing faculty capac-ity, adopting inclusive AI tools, and embedding sustainability in cur-ricula. Public–private partnerships and anticipatory policies are es-sential to ensure a future-ready higher education system that equips Filipino learners for evolving societal and labor-market demands.
