The quality of education that future teachers are getting needs a lot of improvement as more than half of the schools training them fare poorly in the annual licensure exams for educators, a private sector-led advocacy group said. | janebautistaINQ /PDI

Based on their findings, Raagas said that 56 percent of the schools nationwide offering teacher education had below-average passing rates in the licensure exam since 2010.Diane Fajardo, PBEd deputy executive director, said they had done a similar study back in 2013 which yielded the same results after nine years.

Moreover, only 2 percent of schools offering teacher education were classified as high-performing, PBEd said, noting that the government should consider closing down the education programs of low-performing schools.ADVERTISEMENTOf the 111 schools under the classifications of Center of Excellence and Center of Development , more than 81 percent of COEs and 91 percent of CODs were not high performing in the licensure exams.

“By being accredited, COEs and CODs are already assumed to have met the standards imposed by CHEd, which might have encouraged complacency,” the research said. PBEd policy and advocacy manager Jose Andoni Santos laid down their policy recommendations, which included focusing on building more and maintaining COEs per region and strictly monitoring their performance.

Santos also highlighted the urgent need to develop and publish data that would help measure the performance of schools for those taking up education.
