The US Embassy in the Philippines encouraged more students to explore higher education opportunities in America, following a 50% increase in the Filipino student population in the country.
“The United States is really a leader in both quality and innovative education, and the doors are very much open for Filipino students,” Jessica Simon, counselor for public affairs of the US Embassy in the Philippines, told reporters on Friday at the sidelines of an event.
According to the Open Doors 2024 Report on International Educational Exchange, the number of Filipino students enrolled in US universities and colleges increased from 3,000 to 4,500 over the past decade.
Science, technology, education, and mathematics are among the popular programs pursued by Filipinos, driven by the global rise in demand for artificial intelligence (AI).
