Microsoft Philippines recently announced a partnership with the Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges (PASUC) to enable more students to integrate technology in their learning process. Programs which will be introduced to PASUC schools include Microsoft DreamSpark, which provides students with access to industry-leading software, gaming and design tools at no-charge. Another initiative is the MSDN Academic Alliance for tertiary faculty in the technology and design fields, which allows free access to essential software. Microsoft Live@Edu also provides higher education institutions with free hosted communications services.

PASUC currently has 110 member state universities and colleges all over the country. Most of the member schools offer information technology courses.
