Abstract
This study explored the demographic characteristics and assessed the attainment of expected graduate attributes (EGA)
among prospective elementary teachers enrolled in a public higher education institution (HEI) in Leyte province that offers an
elementary teacher education program. Employing a quantitative descriptive survey research design, the study involved 40
prospective elementary teachers selected through purposive sampling. A 5-point Likert-type scale questionnaire was administered
to assess EGA attainment; the questionnaire incorporated items from relevant literature and the program's Outcomes-Based
Education (OBE) syllabi. The results revealed that the prospective elementary teachers possessed the essential competencies of
future primary school educators. Their well-developed problem-solving, analytical, and imaginative skills, honed throughout their
academic journey, demonstrate their preparedness to excel in their chosen profession. Bridging the gap between theoretical
knowledge and practical application is necessary for prospective elementary teachers to gain valuable experiential learning and
exposure to diverse classroom scenarios. Keywords: Attainment, Demographic Characteristics, Expected Graduate Attributes, Prospective Elementary Teachers
