RMC CAMPUS NEWS| April 21, 2026

DAVAO CITY– The final countdown to professional licensure officially began this morning as 71 student interns from the College of Teacher Education (CTE) gathered to take their Official Mock Board Exam.

The testing centers are quiet and orderly as the 71 candidates—who recently completed their teaching practicum across various local campuses—took their seats for the day-long assessment.

This mock exam is designed to mirror the exact conditions of the Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LEPT), providing a high-stakes environment to test their readiness.

These 71 students have spent the last several weeks immersed in a "daily rigid review" and competency appraisal courses. Today’s exam covers the primary pillars of the teaching board:

General Education
Professional Education
Majorship/Specialization

This cohort of 71 represents the next wave of educators preparing to enter the workforce. Having successfully navigated their classroom assignments at various local high schools and elementary sites earlier this month, the mock board serves as the final academic hurdle in their journey.

The results of today’s exam will be used to provide personalized feedback, helping each student identify specific areas for improvement in the weeks leading up to the official board dates.

The exams are expected to conclude by late afternoon, followed by a rationalization phase where students will review their performance with subject matter experts.

Congratulations to our 71 CTE interns for reaching this milestone. Your hard work in the field and in the classroom is about to pay off!
