In SY 2023–2024, José Rizal University (JRU) celebrated the graduation of 8 BEED and 17 BSED students, who were shaped through professional education, apprenticeship, and practical training rooted in educational strategies, social responsibility, and the humanistic ideals of Dr. José Rizal.
With strong foundations in teaching, learning, and vocational training, these future educators are equipped to address evolving educational needs, including special education, reading, and distance learning. Their development reflects JRU’s commitment to education reform, education quality, and inclusive learning environments.
Board exam results underscore this excellence. First-time BEED takers achieved 100% and 85.71% passing rates in March and September 2024, respectively, with overall performance surpassing national averages. BSED first-time takers also performed well, with steady improvement from March (45.45%) to September (54.55%). These achievements affirm JRU’s effectiveness in preparing students for licensure through strong academic performance, skills training, and exposure to both traditional and distance education models, ensuring readiness for diverse school environments and school buildings.
By producing graduates grounded in humanistic values, professional training, and real-world experience through internship and school-based learning, JRU strengthens its role in advancing SDG 4: Quality Education. These educators will lead classrooms with integrity and innovation, champion educational reform, and embody Rizal’s belief that “the youth is the hope of the motherland.”
