Faculty of Science, Technology and Mathematics

Philippine Normal University (PNU), recognized as the National Center for Teacher Education, recently held its regular second-quarter governance meetings. The Academic Council and the Administrative Council convened on May 28 and May 29, 2026, respectively, to deliberate on institutional policies, academic developments, and operational enhancements.

The Academic Council held its meeting virtually via Zoom on May 28, 2026, centering its generalized agenda on maintaining academic standards and updating educational frameworks. During the session, the council reviewed the endorsement of candidates for graduation and academic awardees for Term 2 of AY 2025-2026 across both the Manila and Visayas campuses. Discussions on curricular innovations featured proposals for new educational offerings, alongside structural changes to the National Service Training Program (NSTP) class formats.

Furthermore, the council deliberated on faculty workload guidelines. The agenda also covered academic and research policy updates, including amendments to guidelines for best theses and dissertations, revisions to the academic catalogue, and a proposed academic component for the university's Intellectual Property Policy. Additionally, a proposal for a special conferment of an Honoris Causa degree was likewise discussed.

Following the academic deliberations, the 67th PNU Administrative Council met via a blended modality on May 29, 2026. After the oath-taking of new council members, the body tackled an agenda heavily focused on institutional management and staff support. A primary focus was employee welfare, highlighted by the introduction of a PNU Wellness Leave Policy and revised incentives for distinguished researchers, outstanding research outputs, and faculty publications in high-impact journals.

The council also prioritized research and innovation infrastructure by discussing the establishment of an Innovation and Technology Support Office (ITSO), updates to research ethics review fees, and a revised university-wide Intellectual Property Policy. To ensure seamless operational and administrative upgrades, members reviewed a comprehensive University Communication Plan, updated coding guidelines, and various ISO-approved procedures across multiple offices. The meeting also addressed concerns on student and institutional support systems.

Section 10 of Republic Act 8292, otherwise known as the Higher Education Modernization Act of 1997, stipulates that the Academic Council shall “review and recommend the curricular offerings and rules of discipline of the University subject to the appropriate action of the Board of Regents.”

The said law likewise stipulates that the Administrative Council is tasked with reviewing and recommending to the Board of Regents “policies governing the administration, management, and development planning of the University or College for appropriate action.”

The Leadership Excellence and Development for Teacher Education Institutions (LEAD-TEI) 2026 officially commenced at the Philippine Normal University on June 1, 2026. The executive program brings together future deans, academic leaders, and representatives from teacher education institutions across the country. The program will run in three phases: the initial phase held at PNU, the second phase conducted online, and the final phase to be held in Dumaguete City later this year.

The program is co-organized by PNU, Centro Escolar University (CEU), De La Salle University Manila (DLSU Manila), Negros Occidental State University, Silliman University, University of the Philippines Manila, and the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB). LEAD-TEI 2026 is funded by the Teacher Education Council (TEC) and co-sponsored by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the DAAD-DIES Programme through its Dialogue on Innovative Higher Education Strategies and National Multiplication Strategies initiatives.

The Faculty of Science, Technology, and Mathematics celebrates with DOSTv, on its 10th year anniversary at The Enderun Tent in Taguig City.

DOST launched a new TV show, dubbed as SciSáy (pronounced as saysay), hosted by JP Penuliar. This show promotes science and technology and helps in advancing and bringing science closer to the Filipino people. One of the student co-hosts of SciSay is FSTEM's very own, Ms Princess Anne Marigondon, in-coming IV-22 BSCI Chemistry student.

Watch the streaming of SciSay starting on June 11,2026 on GTv, YouTube, and Spotify. Learn from the show and support science communication.

Ang DOSTv ay naniniwala na ang kwentong agham, ay kwento ng bayan! PNU FSTeM as a DOSTv partner institution, salutes these efforts and is one in believing that science communication matters as it changes lives and build sustainable communities.

🌿 TOURong Kalikasan at Agham sa NCR: Raising the Next Generation of Sustainability Leaders 🌏

Last April 17, 2026, at 11:30 AM, selected BSEd Science students had the privilege of participating in the enriching and hands-on learning experience, TOURong Kalikasan at Agham sa NCR, facilitated with the guidance and expertise of Professor Aaron Paul Baliga.

The event provided an engaging platform where future educators explored sustainability through interactive learning stations designed to integrate science, creativity, and real-world environmental action.

Participants actively engaged in discussions and activities centered on sustainable urban living, with emphasis on circular economy practices such as reducing waste, reusing materials, and designing eco-friendly communities. These experiences strengthened their understanding of how sustainability can be embedded in everyday systems and future classroom practices.

A meaningful highlight of the event was the transformation of discarded materials into creative artworks, demonstrating how environmental awareness can be expressed through art. The event also featured sustainable fashion and livelihood initiatives, showcasing how textile waste can be repurposed into innovative products that reduce environmental impact while supporting community empowerment and livelihood opportunities.

Co-sponsored by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Partners for Sustainability Education (PSE), and John Dewey School for Children, the activity served as a powerful reminder of the role of education in advancing environmental stewardship.

Through collaboration, creativity, and scientific inquiry, we continue shaping educators who will champion sustainability for generations to come. 🌱✨

Our STEM Pre-Service Teachers actively participated in an insightful mentoring session led by Dr. Stacey, a Mathematics Educator from Australia, held on April 17, 2026 at the Philippine Normal University AV Theater. The session served as a meaningful learning opportunity where Dr. Stacey shared her expertise on innovative and learner-centered teaching strategies in mathematics education, highlighting approaches that promote critical thinking, student engagement, and conceptual understanding. Through her discussion and interactive mentoring, the pre-service teachers gained valuable perspectives on how mathematics can be taught in more dynamic and inclusive ways, drawing from global best practices in education. The experience further strengthened their passion, confidence, and commitment to becoming future educators who are not only knowledgeable in their field but also responsive to the evolving needs of learners in the 21st-century classroom.
