Excerpts from the MOA signed by PNP and AIDE IN 2010

Dedicated to advancing the cause of

open and distance education system in the

country and to fulfill its advocacy of widen-

ing adult students’ access to higher educa-

tion, the Asian Institute for Distance Educa-

tion (AIDE) entered into a partnership

agreement with the Philippine National Po-

lice (PNP) in 2010.

The partnership was forged to meet

the requirements of Section 23 of R.A. 8551

which requires the upgrading of educational

qualifications of PNP officers and employees

and as required by the Civil Service Com-

mission (CSC). Further, R.A. 9708 provides

that the PNP uniformed personnel

who are undergraduates and with less than

fifteen (15) years in the service should ob-

tain the minimum educational qualification

preferably in law enforcement related

courses within five (5) years, hence, the

and collaboration with AIDE was pursued

to be able to respond to the needed educa-

tional requirement of the PNP personnel.

The commissioning by the PNP of

the services of AIDE comes with it the

recognition that AIDE has a long standing

reputation of providing quality open learn-

ing system and also acknowledging AIDE

as the lone stand alone distance education

provider recognized by the CHED.
