The College Experience Survey (CES) Kickoff Forum successfully brought together partner higher education institutions, administrators, and student representatives for the official launch of the latest CES cycle last 20 February 2026 at the Far Eastern University – Manila Multi-Purpose Hall.
Organized by the FEU Public Policy Center (FEU PPC), the forum convened partner schools from across the country, including representatives who flew in from outside Metro Manila to participate in the discussions. Their presence reflects the growing collaboration among institutions committed to strengthening student-centered research in Philippine higher education.
During the forum, participants were introduced to the survey’s purpose, methodology, and key insights from recent CES discussion papers. The event also served as a space for dialogue on how student-centered data can support evidence-based decision-making within higher education institutions.
Through CES, the FEU PPC continues to contribute to a deeper understanding of the Filipino student experience. The survey provides institutions with valuable insights on academic life, student engagement, well-being, and campus environments, helping inform strategies that strengthen learning outcomes and student support systems.
We thank our partner institutions and participants for their continued collaboration in advancing research that places student voices at the center of higher education improvement.
