PROPORTION OF GRADUATES WITH TEACHING QUALIFICATION
Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU) remains steadfast in its mission to produce competent and service-oriented educators who can contribute meaningfully to the development of basic education in the Philippines. Through its flagship teacher education programs——including Elementary and Secondary Education, Technical-Vocational and Livelihood Education, Culture and Arts Education, and Physical Education—the university ensures a steady supply of teachers who are job-ready, licensure-eligible, and responsive to evolving educational challenges equipped with the professional qualifications required to teach at the primary school level.
Each academic year, EVSU produces a strong number of graduates who successfully complete rigorous instruction and training mandated by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and aligned with the standards of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). These programs cultivate foundational pedagogical skills, subject matter expertise, and hands-on teaching experience through practice teaching in partner public and private schools within the region.
As part of its quality assurance framework, the University integrates outcomes-based teaching and learning, regular curriculum evaluations, and continuous enhancement of teaching laboratories and learning facilities. Strong linkages with DepEd offices and local school communities further reinforce the practical readiness of future teachers.
EVSU proudly reports that a significant proportion of its graduates from the School of Education earn qualifications that entitle them to teach at the primary school level upon graduation. This performance demonstrates the University’s continued contribution to improving access to quality education in Eastern Visayas and beyond—ensuring that more children are guided by capable, compassionate, and well-prepared educators.
