Filipino Women as Educational Leaders: Widening Windows of Opportunities in ASEAN 2015

Abstract

This chapter examined which APEC 21st-century skills Filipino women educational leaders best exemplify. It looked into the ways in which these leaders manifest these skills in their power roles. It also determined what their plans are for the ASEAN integration as they steer their organizations toward the goal of the Philippines, which is to open the country to better opportunities as it collaborates with its neighbors. Finally, this chapter generated theories based on the power roles of these Filipino women educational leaders. This study is a qualitative examination of the skills these leaders employ and uses a questionnaire to gather data from three women presidents of State Universities and Colleges in Northern Mindanao, the Philippines.
