President Ramos described AIT as “East, South, West and Central Asia’s
collective effort to meet the challenge that all education systems must
face – that of producing the universal citizen, the individual who is
at home in every culture – required today by the forces of
globalization.”
In the article former President Ramos said, “It isn’t enough for a
university to be renowned for technical competence; it should strive
endlessly to become a good place for young people’s self-development –
to stimulate individuality, originality, and creativity. Education, in
the end, is the individual search for identity and fulfillment. The
‘great’ university – of which the AIT is in a class of its own – makes
possible such search by providing education that is ‘generous,
inspiring, and humane.’”
