Committed to strengthen research competence among senior high school students, the Bachelor of Secondary Education – English (BSED-English) program officially rolled out Project I.N.Q.U.I.R.Y. (Inspire New Questions, Understand Insights, Research Yields) on August 1 at Badas National High School (BNHS).

The launch featured an introductory workshop on Research Writing, covering both Quantitative and Qualitative Research. With the guidance of faculty members, the initiative aims to cultivate foundational skills in scholarly inquiry and critical thinking.

This capacity-building effort forms a key part of the program’s flagship research and extension initiative, Program L.E.A.R.N. (Literacy Enhancement on Analysis – Reading, Research, and N.E.W.S.), which seeks to help young learners toward academic and research excellence.

Congratulations to our BSED-English faculty member 𝙈𝙧. 𝘼𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙚 𝘼. 𝙑𝙖𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙖, 𝙈𝘼𝙀𝙙 for the publication of his short story titled “𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙜” in Scholarly Lens: A Literary Magazine for Educators (Dreamer Publishing Services).

“𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙜” is a deeply introspective narrative written in the first-person point of view, employing a stream-of-consciousness technique that unravels the psychological breakdown of Enteng, a father abandoned by his spouse, estranged from his child, and consumed by guilt, grief, and drugs.

This literary achievement, written in Bisaya, reflects not only creative brilliance but also a strong commitment to preserving local language and storytelling traditions.
