About the National College of Public Administration and Governance
The National College of Public Administration and Governance (NCPAG) has been
the pioneering leader of the discipline in the Philippines and in Asia since its
establishment as the Institute of Public Administration in 1952. In performing its
three-fold function of instruction, research, and extension service, it has expanded
its scope from governmental management to the broader concerns of governance,
including the roles of the private sector and civil society. As the premier school of
Public Administration in the Philippines, the NCPAG strives to promote excellence
and relevance in the study and practice of public administration, executive
leadership, and policy and administrative research; serves as a social critic as
well as a purveyor of policy advice and technical assistance in government and
nongovernmental agencies; seeks to build and nurture ties with international as
well as local bodies engaged in the improvement of governance; and continuously
and critically strives to meet the challenges and problems of governance. In
pursuing all these ends, it upholds the primacy of public interest and high ethical
standards. (Source: http://www.up-ncpag.org/main/about.html)
