Our Expanded Mission
Extension is one of the important trilogy of functions of higher education institutions. Vis-a-vis instruction and in light of recent technological advancement, extension complements and fill sin the gaps left by instruction specially for those who, for multifarious reasons, can not access formal instruction to gain individual transformation.
Extensionists are employed in both government and non-government institutions to become agents of change. As agents of change, extensionists should process the appropriate knowledge, attitudes, skills and practices to effectively perform. Capability building if extensionist to meet the challenging tasks of changing people and communities becomes a continuous process. Furthermore, extensionists as agents of change must think and act as professionals and should be well-versed in the acceptable theories and practices of their job.
To formalize the theories and principles of extension and integrate these into actual practice, PAEPI envisions to elevate extension to the level of discipline so that its practitioners, the extensionists, become well-equipped in the science and art of extension and to become wholly integrated professional extensionists. The demand is great for an extensionist who is a true professional in the execution of his duties and functions in the work environment. In the task of meeting this demand, PAEPI's mission is to bring extension the level of discipline and as a profession by continuous research and capability building that will contribute significantly to the development of professional extensionists with tested practices grounded on acceptable theories, principles, approaches, methodologies and techniques of community extension.
