The Maritime Industry Authority and the International Association of Maritime Universities held a coordination meeting in preparation for two major upcoming activities: the Peer-Assisted Evaluation Scheme (PAES), to be conducted at two selected maritime higher education institutions (MHEIs) on 17–18 November 2025; and a Maritime Education and Training (MET) Workshop on 20–21 November 2025.
The PAES-Philippines program, which began in 2015, will this year cover all state universities and colleges offering the BS Marine Transportation (BSMT) and BS Marine Engineering (BSMarE) programs. The conduct of the MET Workshop immediately following the PAES visits began last year. This arrangement aims to maximize the opportunity of having IAMU visitors to share best practices and foster collaboration in improving teaching methodologies and enhancing the content of subjects included in the BSMT and BSMarE curricula.
