As part of the bilateral Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed on 1 July, Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) jointly organized the 2nd S4SES International Research Conference on Education Studies together with the Society For Strategic Education Studies (S4SES) and Silliman University on 23-24 November via virtual platform.

Almost a hundred researchers presented their groundbreaking findings in the fields of education, social science, humanities, and associated disciplines. The hybrid event aimed to provide conversations anchored on the theme Educational Leadership in Uncertain Times.

Said two-day sessions were divided into five strands and were facilitated by 30 panelists and technical staff from the College of Education (CED), College of Engineering and Technology (CET), College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), Management Information System (MIS), and External Linkages and International Affairs (ELIA) who spearheaded the exchange of insights on contemporary education practices using diverse contexts.

Honoring the event were Dr. Max P. Guillermo, TAU President, and Dr. Eufracio C. Abaya, S4SES President.

Due to the unexpected passing of Dr. Eugenie Samier of University of Strathclyde, Dr. Abaya, Dr. Maria Mercedes Arzadon, and Dr. Jocelyn Timbol-Guadalupe led a plenary session in honor of Dr. Samier’s contributions on indigenous leadership education studies in the Philippines.

Other keynote speakers who articulated their perspectives on monumental changes introduced in the education sector post-pandemic include Dr. Charles Hopkins of York University, Dr. Vicente Chua Reyes, Jr. of University of Nottingham, and Ms. Maria Lourie Victor representing the Department of Education.

In his closing remarks, Mr. Marlon B. Espedillon, Luzon Island Cluster Representative of S4SES and ELIA Director, conveyed his gratitude to participants and volunteers while highlighting the importance of academic conversations focusing on innovation, sustainable development, and social transformation.

S4SES Inc., a nonprofit organization founded to advance pioneering scientific and cultural education and raise social awareness, is also looking for new members. Interested parties may click the link for more information: https://bit.ly/S4SESMembership.
