Zamboanga Peninsula Polytechnic State University (ZPPSU), visionary President Dr. Nelson P. Cabral, graced the 4th International Research and Education Conference (IREC) as an inspirational speaker, held in New York City, USA, scheduled from June 20 to July 6, 2024.
The international conference was organized by the Association of Filipino Teachers and Educators in America, Inc. (AFTEA), themed “Trailblazing the Futures of Education Initiative: A Commitment to Renewed Perspectives through Global Collaboration.”
The conference provided a platform to examine research and conduct dialogues; reflect and benchmark on how educators can envision and create possible futures in which education shapes a better world for all stakeholders; and pursue and articulate individual and institutional commitments to advocate for the right to education throughout life, linking the right to education to the right to information, to science, to participation, and to connectivity.
Additionally, this endeavor enriches academic experiences and promotes international collaboration in research and education.
