Ayon kay CHED Secretary Popoy De Vera, mahalaga ang mga international ranking na ito dahil nagpapakita ito na kahanay ng HEIs sa bansa ang ilang top universities sa mundo.
Patunay rin aniya ito ng globalized outlook at competitiveness ng mga pampubliko at pribadong unibersidad sa bansa.
Sa tulong rin nito, matutukoy ang mga dapat pang i-improve sa mga unibersidad gaya ng pagtuturo, research, at public service.
Kaugnay nito, tiniyak naman ng CHED ang patuloy na suporta sa mga HEIs sa bansa tungo sa internationalization, university-to-university linkages, at pinaigting na partnerships para mas marami pang HEIs ang mapabilang sa international rankings. | ulat ni Merry Ann Bastasa
