Dr. Aida I. Yap has been designated as a member
of the Screening Committee for the 2014
Japanese Government Scholarship Programs on
Teacher Training and Japanese Studies (undergraduate
students) through the Ministry of Education, Culture,
Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). The MEXT
offers scholarships to foreign students who wish to
conduct research on school education at Japanese
universities. Other members of the committee include
Ms. Ched Magaspar of the Ateneo de Manila University
and Mr. Shinichiro Kato of the Japan Information and
Culture Center, Embassy of Japan, Philippines. Dr. Yap
and Ms. Magaspar were former scholars of the Japanese
government.
The screening of local applicants for the scholarship
was conducted on 4-5 March 2014 at the Embassy
of Japan, Philippines. The Embassy of Japan will
recommend those applicants who passed the local
screening to MEXT. The MEXT makes the final decision
on who among those recommended by the Embassy
of Japan in different countries will get the grant. The
Teacher Training Program is for 1.5 years while the
Japanese Studies Program is for one year. Successful
applicants will leave in October this year.
