Mula 44 noong nakaraang taon, 65 Philippine High Education Institutions (HEIs) ang kabilang sa top 300 most innovative universities sa mundo batay sa 2024 World’s Universities with Real Impact (WURI) rankings na nagha-highlight sa Philippine HEIs na pinalakas ang innovative education at positibong epekto sa lipunan.
Mahalaga ang mga internasyonal na ranggo dahil ginagawa nitong benchmark ang mga HEI ng Pilipinas sa HEI sa buong mundo at tinutukoy ang mga pagpapahusay na kailangan sa pagtuturo, pananaliksik, serbisyo publiko at ang uri ng mga nagtapos na kailangan nilang gawin. Higit sa lahat, kailangan nilang gawin ito bawat taon habang sinusubaybayan nila ang kanilang pagpapabuti sa bawat taon na batayan.
“The continuing annual increase in the number of Philippines HEIs that are subjecting themselves to international assessment and ranking is indeed outstanding. The fact that these HEIS are joining the list of the top universities not just in the WURI rankings but also in the other international ranking bodies shows the globalized outlook and competitiveness of our public and private universities,” sabi ni CHED Secretary Popoy De Vera.
“The collective efforts of Philippine HEIs, assisted by CHED and the national government, are now showing results. Rest assured, we will continue accelerating internationalization, assist university-to-university linkages, and foster partnerships to bring more HEIs in international rankings,” dagdag ni De Vera.
Ang CHED ay agresibong tinutulungan ang Philippine HEI internationalization efforts alinsunod sa mga direktiba ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na ipagpatuloy ang paggawa ng mga world class na propesyonal habang naghahanap ng mga angkop na lugar kung saan ang mga Pilipino ay maaaring maging mahusay tulad ng IT, animation, aviation, at game development.
Kapansin-pansin, ang Pilipinas ay isa sa pinakamahusay na gumaganap na mga bansa sa ranggo na may halos 20% na ranggo na HEI mula sa 12000 entries sa buong mundo.

Ang WURI ay isa sa tatlong CHED na kinikilalang ranking system para sa HEI internationalization. Ito ay isang sistema ng pagraranggo ng Organizing Committee ng Hanseatic League of Universities (HLU).
Sinusuri at nira-rank nito ang mga nangungunang unibersidad na may tunay na kontribusyon sa lipunan, na nagbibigay-diin sa mga malikhain at makabagong diskarte sa pananaliksik at mga programang pang-edukasyon.
