However, there’s so many sub-standard nursing schools sprouting like mushrooms in the philippines that you have to be cautious before enrolling yourself in.

Philippines to promote educational services abroad

December 31, 2009   The government would aggressively promote its educational services abroad to increase its export revenues next year.

 

The targeted markets are China, Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia and LaMarCa (Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia).

The “Study in the Philippines” promotion exhibit resulted in the country’s signing of memorandum of understandings (MoUs) with seven institutions in Vietnam.

BETP is also eyeing export niches through nursing and information technology (IT) programs.
The Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM) earlier said the Philippines could also niche on programs such as medicine and English language.

Specialized education is among the priority export industries of the Philippine Export Development Plan (PEDP) for 2008-2010.

Such emerging service, along with health and wellness, medical tourism, logistics and entertainment, have been identified to give focus on the country’s competitive advantage as potential investment in the region and as the most preferred labor resource in the world.  News release
