The UST College of Education’s bachelor’s programs in Elementary Education and Secondary Education have once again been recognized by the Philippine government as Centers of Excellence (COE), in a ceremony conducted by the Teacher Education Council (TEC) on November 27, 2024.

With the recognition, the University joins the government “in developing a new system for recognizing and evaluating Teacher Education Centers of Excellence, as well as providing technical expertise in the review and enhancement of pre-service teacher education curricula.”

College of Education Assistant Dean Louie B. Dasas, PhD and Academic Programs Quality Assurance Office (APQAO) Director Marife V. Narcida, MS received the recognition from the TEC, chaired by Department of Education Secretary Juan Edgardo Angara, who was joined by the other officers and members of the TEC.
