In its continuing commitment to internationalization and academic excellence, the University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao (USLT) formalized a partnership with the British Council through a ceremonial Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) signing held at the university’s Sacred Heart Boardroom on June 16, 2025.
The British Council is a UK-based organization that promotes cultural relations and educational opportunities. It is a proud co-owner of IELTS together with Cambridge English.
Mr. Mike Cabigon, Exams Business Development Manager, provided a comprehensive introduction of the British Council and its work in the Philippines and highlighted that the partnership includes IELTS testing services and can be expanded to the future accommodation of UK-based foreign students. He also elaborated on the key provisions of the agreement and the mutual benefits of the collaboration.
In response, Rev. Fr. Macwayne N. Maniwang, CICM, PhD, the university president, and Dr. Anjanette F. Batulan, the GPE Director, expressed gratitude and echoed the university’s appreciation. Dr. Luisa B. Aquino, the Vice President for Academics, also shared her optimism for a long-term partnership with British Council. Mr. Cabigon acknowledged all remarks and reaffirmed the British Council’s openness to collaborative growth.
Through this partnership, USLT is now recognized as a British Council Official IELTS Test Center and an IELTS Registration Center – making internationally recognized English language assessments more accessible and convenient for people in Tuguegarao City and surrounding provinces.
This alliance strengthens USLT’s role as a hub for global education and testing and reaffirms its dedication to providing Louisian students and stakeholders with access to international opportunities and standards.
