The University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (USTP) strengthened its regional engagement in teacher education through the participation of representatives from four campuses in the SEA-Teacher Programme Evaluation Meeting for the 11th Cohort and the Southeast Asia Conference on Pre-Service Teacher Education, held on October 20–21, 2026, at Seda Manila Bay, Parañaque City, Philippines. The two-day event gathered education leaders, university representatives, and regional stakeholders to evaluate the SEA-Teacher Programme and discuss strategies for improving pre-service teacher education across Southeast Asia.
Representing USTP Oroquieta were Ms. Marevel B. Caburnay, Campus International Affairs Coordinator of USTP Oroquieta; Ms. Marjho Mae S. Cardoza, Campus International Affairs Coordinator of USTP Panaon; Ms. Karren L. Belarmino, Campus International Affairs Coordinator of USTP Balubal; and Ms. Rosie G. Tan of the College of Science and Technology Education (CSTE), USTP Cagayan de Oro. Participants reviewed programme findings and feedback, identified implementation challenges, and developed recommendations to strengthen programme delivery and international teaching mobility. The conference also featured discussions on regional academic partnerships, teaching practicum innovations, digital competencies, artificial intelligence, research collaboration, accreditation, and teacher education policies.
This participation supports USTP’s broader effort to foster a more coordinated approach to education development across the System, enabling its campuses to learn from regional practices and pursue common goals in preparing competent, globally responsive educators. The activity involved the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO), Philippine Normal University (PNU), the Teacher Education Council (TEC) Philippines, and REX Education.
