Universidad De Manila Tracks Women’s Application and Acceptance Rates, Promoting Gender Equality

Manila, Philippines – In alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5), “Gender Equality,” Universidad De Manila (UDM) has implemented a systematic process to measure and track the application and acceptance rates of women into its programs. This effort reflects the university’s commitment to promoting equal opportunities for all genders, ensuring that the institution continues to create an inclusive and diverse academic environment.

UDM’s University Registrar regularly submits enrollment and acceptance data, including gender-specific metrics, to the University Executive Committee led by UDM President Dr. Ma. Felma Carlos-Tria. This process enables the university to monitor not only gender representation but also the participation of individuals with physical disabilities, special needs, and those from minority groups. These regular reports help ensure that UDM remains a leader in fostering gender equality and inclusion in higher education.

Equal Opportunities for All

While UDM ensures equal opportunity for both genders in its admission process, the systematic tracking of women’s application and entry rates is a key step in identifying and addressing any disparities. This data-driven approach provides valuable insights into the university’s progress toward achieving gender equality and creating an environment where everyone, regardless of gender or background, has the chance to succeed.

A Broader Commitment to Diversity

In addition to gender-specific metrics, UDM tracks other important classifications, such as the enrollment of students with physical disabilities, special needs, and those from minority communities. This comprehensive monitoring underscores the university’s dedication to promoting diversity and providing support to all students, ensuring that UDM’s doors remain open to a wide range of individuals.

Looking Forward: Gender Equality in Higher Education

By consistently tracking and reporting women’s application and acceptance rates, UDM is taking significant steps toward advancing SDG 5. These efforts help the university maintain a balance in gender representation, providing opportunities for women to excel in higher education. As UDM continues to promote inclusivity, the institution sets an example for how universities can actively contribute to gender equality and diversity in education.
