In the world of children, life is a series of blank pages waiting for the beautiful but sometimes chaotic collision of crayons and imagination. To the untrained eye, it is just play; to Dr. Jerahmeel R. Aquino, it is the making of an architect, a painter, or a designer.

A proud graduate of Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU), Dr. Aquino understands that before a child can sculpt a form, they must learn to mold the clay. His own foundation was poured in the classrooms of the College of Education (CEd), where he earned his Bachelor of Elementary Education major in PreSchool Education (BEEd-PSEd) in 2014.

📚✨ Bringing Learning Closer: Books and Materials for Every Child | January 26, 2026 ✨📚

The activity Bringing Learning Closer: Books and Materials for Every Child was successfully conducted at the Child Development Center, Poblacion West, Santa Ignacia, Tarlac. The initiative was spearheaded by Dr. Rene G. Nanit, BECEd Chairperson, Ms. Maila Suzette Guting, faculty member, and Society of Early Childhood Educators (SEED) with the shared goal of strengthening early childhood education through improved access to learning resources.

Through this activity, age-appropriate children’s books and instructional materials were distributed to young learners, supporting early literacy development and enhancing classroom instruction. The enthusiasm and joy shown by the children highlighted the impact of bringing quality educational materials directly to the community.

This effort reflects the proponents’ commitment to making learning more accessible and meaningful, especially during the formative years of childhood. Together, we continue to bring learning closer—one child, one book, and one community at a time. 💛📖

Special thanks are extended to the BECEd 3 students, who served as Instructional Materials (IM) Developers, and to our generous benefactors—Dr. Arlene V. Tomas, Ms. Gracelle P. Hilario, and Dr. Jeffrey John R. Yasay—for their invaluable support and contributions that made this activity possible.

Boost to early learning support at household level needed – EDCOM II MANILA – The 2nd Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM II) on Thursday identified the need to strengthen early learning support at the household level as a key input to ongoing government reforms in early childhood care and development. In findings set to be released in its final report…

Findings of the Philippine Institute For Development Studies from the first-year pilot implementation of the MATATAG K-to-10 Curriculum show that curriculum reform—when properly designed—can translate into measurable learning gains. However, the studies also underscore a recurring finding of EDCOM: that curriculum reform will only succeed if teachers are well supported to implement it. 📓💡

Strengthening Teaching Effectiveness through Faculty Mentoring

Mentoring sessions were conducted by the Chairperson, Dr. Rene G. Nanit, with junior faculty members Ms. Rosalie Jane Manabat and Mrs. Louise Angela Villanueva. The mentoring activity was based on the results of the Teaching Effectiveness Evaluation, which served as the primary reference in identifying areas for improvement and professional growth. During the session, Dr. Nanit discussed the evaluation findings with the mentees and provided targeted guidance on enhancing teaching strategies, classroom management, and instructional planning. The mentoring also emphasized reflective teaching practices, continuous improvement, and alignment with departmental and institutional standards. The session provided a supportive environment for constructive feedback, professional reflection, and the strengthening of instructional competence among the junior faculty members.
