𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐍𝐎𝐖 | FTED Holds Fifth Annual Mock Board Examination for 480 CSA Students

Today, May 10, the Faculty of Teacher Education (FTED) of Davao Oriental State University is currently conducting its Fifth Annual Mock Board Examination at the Academic Building, participated in by 480 students under the Competencies and Skills Appraisal (CSA) course.

Led by FTED Dean Dr. Jocelyn C. Arles and CSA Coordinator Hasmera M. Pacio, the ongoing initiative serves as a comprehensive preparatory assessment aimed at evaluating the academic readiness and examination preparedness of aspiring educators for the Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LEPT). The mock examination covers the three primary components of the actual board examination: General Education, Professional Education, and Area of Specialization.

Grounded in the university’s commitment to academic excellence and quality teacher education, the annual activity provides future educators with a simulated testing environment that reflects the structure, standards, and rigor of the national licensure examination. Through this academic undertaking, students are given the opportunity to strengthen their test-taking proficiency, identify areas for improvement, build confidence, and further enhance their readiness for professional certification.

The Faculty of Teacher Education continues to uphold its mission of producing competent, resilient, and future-ready educators equipped for professional practice and national qualification.

Best of luck to all aspiring future Licensed Professional Teachers (LPTs)!
