Multi-stakeholders collaborate on PNU-NCTE master plan

TOMO 64 BILANG 4 OCTOBER 2011 ISSUE

Donnadette S.G. Belza

To formulate a master plan for Philippine Normal University (PNU) as mandated by National Center for Teacher Education (NCTE) Law was the aim of the Multi-stakeholders’ Forum with the theme, “Vision and Directions for the National Center for Teacher Education,” held on August 22 at the AV Theater, PNU. Sen. Edgardo J. Angara, chairman of the Senate Committee on Education, Arts and Culture, served as the keynote speaker. Various sectors such as the government, teacher education institutions (TEIs) with PNU academe,

Aid agencies with the civil service organizations (CSOs), and the private sector were represented. Each sector divided into sub-groups held a round table discussion to answer questions relevant to the development of the NCTE plan. When asked about the new trends relevant to teacher education, the TEIs and academe group said that PNU should operationalize the National Competency Based Teacher (NCBTS) standards and integrate a technology-based education. Meanwhile, different groups generated a lot of ideas when it comes

to partnerships and contributions to promoting quality teacher education in the country. Mostly, the groups offered research collaborations, incentives and/or rewards for teachers, student and faculty scholarships and exchange programs, and development of facilities and equipment for training and research.
