⌛ Continuing Education?? Is it possible....

Anyone here ever known an adult that takes continuing education here in the Philippines?

I'm thinking in terms of even Fitness Classes, Photography, Language, Culture, etc.

And, would these adults be in the uniforms most schools require? Can't imagine a 50 year old lady going to an aerobics class wearing a white shirt, tie and a skirt! :-)

Anyone know if this is possible at Silliman or Foundation etc??

Cheers,
Mark

 

There have been adult students at Foundation. They wear the uniform like anyone else. Despite being over 2x the age of most students, they seemed to fit in just fine.

 

hmm, ok.

Do they offer evening classes for those that work during the day?

 

I have spent a fair amount of time with Khan Academy and MIT's OpenCourseWare online. Both are excellent sources of material in my experience.

Many other schools offer free classes online now:

thanks jj. :-)

But I'm really interested in courses that get OUT of the house and with social interaction that can't be had with online courses. I also would like to benefit from the experience of our hosts in the classroom.

 

Foundation has early evening classes. Some start at 5:15pm, and others at 6:30pm.

 

Silliman University does not have uniforms in college level.

 

I think you are referring to non credit extension classes as are common in the States. Unfortunately I don't know of any schools here that have that type of program. I wish they did.

 

yes Kenny. In the states we could take any course offered at a community college. I took many over years...was a great experience and very rewarding. :-)

 

Yes I had a friend 80+ years old, ex Korean War corespondent who never stopped going to school.
