The University of Northern Philippines - College of Teacher Education BTVEd and BTLEd Programs are constantly building, developing, and strengthening international linkages with institutions and organizations to enhance its quality of education, research, services of the college and to deepen understanding and knowledge of education in different contexts in the world. Furthermore, the implementation of the international linkages and partnership revolves in the relevant technological contributions in the industrial, technical, and vocational field of education focusing on the technology-based education outputs, cultural heritage to support UNESCO Heritage City of Vigan, International Student and Faculty Exchange Program, sustainable linkages with Romchatra Foundation, SEA Teacher Project and other ASEAN Integration activities. The BTVTEd and BTLED program established linkages with leading foreign universities and organizations working out the relevant exchange programs in industrial technology, food service management, and relevant vocational-livelihood training for the stakeholders. Finally, the Romchatra Foundation through Phromomankachalan has expanded the international linkages of the UNP to be a partner of the academic publications including cultural exchange activities under Hanban that recognized the effort of the CTE to bring the forefront of scholarly publication through the ASEAN Community. The forging of agreement on Academic and cultural collaboration with the assistance of the Center of International Studies became the Best Practices of International linkages on Academic and Cultural Exchange program through the Confucius Maritime Silk Road of the Romchatra Foundation.
