Curricular programs are subjected to accreditation and teachers unceasingly participate in professional development endeavors. This descriptive research determined the school profile (accreditation status and educational attainment of faculty) and LET performance of Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) and Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSEd) graduates from the seven (7) campuses of a public university in Northern Philippines. Comparison of graduates' LET performance when grouped according to school profile was investigated. Results show that BEEd graduates disclosed a dismal rating since their LET mean performance both on General Education and Professional Education are below the passing mark. Whereas, BSEd graduates have passing marks on General Education and Professional Education except for Major. Relative to school profile, graduates of TEI with higher accreditation status have significantly better LET performance than those enrolled in TEI with lower accreditation status. Thus, subjecting curricular programs to accreditations implies better passing rate in LET. Moreover, graduates of TEI where majority of faculty members are doctorate degree holders have significantly higher LET rating compared to those graduates of TEI with teachers dominated by master's degree holders. This finding implies that teachers' educational attainment contributes to the success of graduates in LET. With these findings, it is recommended for TEIs to continue subjecting curricular programs to accreditations and investing on teachers' professional development.

It is, therefore, necessary for TEIs to align instructional delivery with the competencies in the LET. Thus, this study was undertaken to correlate academic achievement and licensure examination performance of teacher education graduates. Academic achievement is the graduates’ grade weighted average in college and pre-board examination results. The respondents were 1,017 graduates of Bachelor of Secondary Education and Bachelor of Elementary Education in a state university in Cagayan Province, Philippines. The study revealed a significant and strong correlation between the graduates’ grade weighted average in college and LET performance. This is an indication of the effective evaluation procedure of the university since the teachers’ assessment concurs with the graduates’ performance in the LET. A ...

A significant relationship was also established between the graduates' performance in the pre-board examination and LET albeit with a weak correlation. This study recommends the development of mechanisms in improving the conduct of pre-board examination review programs in the university. Further validation of the assessment tools used in the pre-board examination is likewise suggested.

This quantitative research determined the Mathematics College Readiness (MCR) of 2186 grade 12 students across all career tracks and learning strands from nine (9) secondary schools in Cagayan province, Philippines. MCR was measured through a validated criterion-referenced test which was based on the College Readiness Standards (CRS) of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). Reasons for students" non-readiness as perceived by 73 mathematics teachers were also investigated using a survey questionnaire and interview. Frequency count, percentage distribution, mean, independent sample t-test, Analysis of Variance, and thematic analysis were utilized to interpret the gathered data. Findings revealed that majority of the students are not ready to take college-level mathematics courses. Students who have more mathematics exposures in high school are significantly more ready for college mathematics compared to those who just comply with the minimum mathematics subject requirements. The teachers" perceived reasons of students" non-readiness for college mathematics are students" negative attitude, anxiety, and weak foundation in basic mathematics, heavy teaching workloads and limited professional growth of teachers, inadequate and poor quality of learning materials and facilities, disruptions of classes, lack of parents" involvement in the education of their children, disadvantages of spiral progression and the "No Child Left Behind Act", and numerous competencies in the mathematics curriculum. Instructional enhancement along content, innovative teaching strategies, authentic assessment and interactive instructional materials are necessary to address students" non-readiness of college mathematics.
