The EU Delegation to the Philippines revealed on Friday that Filipino scholars at a European Union (EU) educational program are among the best-performing students.
The EU delegation said that the Philippines has been one of the top 10 countries and has the highest number of qualified scholars from 2004 to 2020.
More than 40 Erasmus+ scholars have either graduated with honors or those who had their works published in scholarly journals. It added if “the Erasmus+ program were an Olympic event, then the country would have bagged the gold medal.”

“If there can be an Olympics among the Erasmus+ scholars, Filipinos will be among the gold medalists. Worldwide, the Philippines has been among the top ten countries, with the highest number of scholars from 2004 to 2020. More than 600 Filipino scholars availed of the Erasmus+ scholarship and mobility (MA and Ph.D.) programs,” it added.
“And these Filipino youth are setting the bar high in the European Union. An initial survey conducted by the Delegation of the European Union to the Philippines showed more than 40 Filipino scholars have either graduated with honors (Cum Laude to Summa Cum Laude) or have their works published in scholarly journals,” it said.

The Erasmus+ is an initiative in which students from different parts of the world can experience liberal European education from different universities.
Furthermore, the EU is pumping in around €26.2 billion to the program, which “places a strong focus on social inclusion, the green and digital transitions, and promoting young people’s participation in democratic life.”
The EU delegation to the Philippines said that two Filipino scholars with the Erasmus+ are finishing their Master’s Degrees with Summa Cum Laude honors. (AW)
