top universities in asia

when asked where are the best universities located in the world, the United States and Europe comes into mind. What many of us dont know is that there are a lot of good universities here in Asia and we dont have to go that far. I found an article below with regards to top universities here in ASIA....
What does the 2006 list have to say about the universities in Asia? Well, unsurprisingly Japan dominates the top 10 Asian universities list, with Tokyo and Kyoto universities in the first two places (19 and 22 on world list). Hebrew University is 4th place (60). Other Asian countries? National University of Singapore is ranked 10-19 (102-150) followed by some other big Israeli universities. Taiwan makes a first appearance with National Taiwan University at 20-24 (151-200) together with the Chinese Tsing Hua University, the Korean Seoul National University and the University of Hong Kong. India only appears at 41-63 (301-400) with Indian Institute of Science.
First up is the Tokyo University (87 in world rank), second is the Hebrew University (131), National University of Singapore is 3rd, National University of Taiwan 6th (190), Chinese University of Hong Kong 8th (217), Beijing University is 10th place (239), Seoul University 11th (311).

........as we can see there are a number of well known universities our neighboring countries have. unfortunately none of our top universities here in our country

Philippine DepED

with regards to our local education. There is a department assigned specifically for education.

The DepEd Vision We are people organization committed to a culture of excellence in public service.
