The Vice President for Academic Affairs of St. Paul U, Dr. Flor Agnes Sy said that the University looks at this training as its chance to support the government initiative at the much needed education reforms in the country. She added, “It is also an opportunity for the University to open its doors and resources to the teaching community of Panay and Guimaras so that the latter can have a deeper appreciation of their roles as educators and formators of the youth and get a better view of SPUI’s capability to offer its brand of quality Catholic education.”
