The Philippine Normal University (PNU), through the College of Alternative and Lifelong Learning (CALL), officially launched Project RISE (Reskilling, Innovating, and Sustaining Excellence in ECE Teaching) with a virtual Opening Program held on April 27, 2026, via Zoom. This initial implementation of the six-day flagship initiative is particularly designed to upskill and reskill Child Development Workers (CDWs) and Child Development Teachers (CDTs).

In his message, PNU President Dr. Bert J. Tuga emphasized that participating in the program demonstrates a commitment to growth, service, and the community's children. He also recognized the vital role these participants play; as the first teachers to shape the experiences of budding learners, they stand at the very foundation of the education system.

The program aims to strengthen the teaching proficiency of current Early Childhood Education practitioners, including CDWs and CDTs, by addressing identified competency gaps in early grade instruction. Furthermore, Project RISE serves as a foundational academic pathway for participants who wish to pursue further studies and professional credentials in early childhood education.

The inaugural batch is proudly hosted by PNU-Manila, serving as the pioneering hub for this nationwide effort. As the first cohort embarks on the program, they will immerse themselves in a community dedicated to excellence and inclusivity, ensuring that every Filipino child receives a strong, meaningful start in life.

The College of Alternative and Lifelong Learning (CALL) successfully conducted the CALL Summit 2026, a three-day planning and direction-setting workshop held from March 25–27, 2026 at Hotel Benilde, Malate, Manila.

𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐 emphasized strengthening collaboration across university domains, fostering alignment in academics, research and quality assurance, finance and administration, and student success services. These discussions culminated in shared commitments and clearer strategic directions moving forward.

𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟑 centered on setting priorities and strategic directions for 2026. Key discussions highlighted alternative and lifelong learning, micro-credentialing, and regular academic programs, including the plans of the Center for Lifelong Learning (CeLL), ensuring continued relevance, responsiveness, and impact.

"When you prepare with excellence, you become the teacher your students deserve."

The PNU FGEEL successfully conducted the 4th Session of Finishing School 1 Program: PNU LET Bootcamp: Prepare to Pass, Aim to Top", with its theme “Future Ready Minds, Future Ready Hearts: Empowering Teachers to Inspire, Innovate, and Lead in Every Classroom" held on March 4, 2026 at the PNU HRD Amphitheater.

Our resource speaker, Dr. Mark Gleen O. Cidro, shared an enjoyable, interactive, and meaningful session about his experiences and knowledge regarding the Licensure Examination for Teachers. The discussion was mainly focused and divided into three parts: Mindset, Method, and Mastery. One of the most powerful lessons he shared was the mindset that “I am not studying to pass; I am studying to become excellent.” This encouraged the pre-service teachers to aim not only to pass the exam but to truly grow and become competent and excellent future educators.

The session concluded with Dr. Cidro facilitating a group activity that encouraged the pre-service teachers to reflect on their plans and preparation for taking the exam. Through this meaningful activity, we were able to think deeply about our goals and commitment as future educators. With this, Dr. Cidro left us with a powerful reminder: “Magtuturo, Magsisilbi, at Magsisikap.” On the other hand, Teacher Aliexandra Joyce Acosta shared her reflection about PPST Domain 4: Curriculum and Planning from her experiences gained in practice teaching.
