1,200 more cops earn degree through distance learning
More than 1,200 cops were able to earn a degree in Criminology through the distance learning program of a De La Salle-supervised university, according to the Philippine National Police (PNP).
According to Director Geman B Doria, head of the PNP’s Human Resource and Doctrine Development unit, this is the fifth batch of cops who received their Criminology degree through distance learning. The director added that another batch of cops is now taking the same course, which is being offered by the University of La Sallette of Santiago City in Isabela province under its Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency Accreditation Program.
“This will be a chance for all PNP personnel to fulfill their dreams in obtaining their bachelor’s degree or to have a second course. Review classes for PRC Licensure Examinations for criminologists and graduate degrees are also included in the program,” Doria said in an interview conducted by GMANews.TV.
Director General Avelino Razon Jr, PNHP chief, was quoted in the statement saying the program will not only help some PNP personnel to accomplish the basic educational requirements but also addresses the attrition issue.
The sixth batch of cops taking the course through distance learning had it’s opening ceremonies last June 29 at the PNP Grandstand.
