Hello there Madlang Hivers! It’s me @juvithavibes again bringing you another exciting blog to dive into. So grab a coffee, get comfy, and let’s dive into my experience during the CADTEC (Council of Administrators and Deans of Teacher Education Colleges) @15 Student-Teacher’s Congress.
In this blog, I’ll be sharing some of the highlights and experiences from the CADTEC@15 Student-Teachers’ Congress. Join me as I take you through the inspiring moments and impactful insights that shaped my journey at this empowering event.
February 28, 2025 is the 15th CADTEC (Council of Administrators and Deans of Teacher Education Colleges) Convention event at UC Cebu Coliseum.
All educators - Doctors of Education, Deans, Teachers, even the Falculan Twins of FTRC, and approximately 4,000-5,000 Student Teachers from 39 different schools in whole Region 7 (Cebu, Bohol, Siquijor, Negros).
They were present to gather for a day to celebrate the anniversary of CADTEC where they the higher and well-respected authorities in Education share their insights and wonderful experiences to us, graduating education students.
The Excitement of the Opening Ceremony
Before the program begin we took a selfie first for our attendance.
The program began as we all stood up for the opening ceremony of CADTEC.
The energy in the UC Cebu Coliseum was palpable as the convention officially kicked off. With thousands of eager student teachers seated and looking forward to the day ahead, the opening ceremony set the tone for what would be an inspiring and eye-opening experience.
The awaited program featuring the skilled UC Chorus Choir, has officially begun captivating the audience with their wonderful performance.
The opening remarks emphasized the significance of education in preparing the next generation of educators. It served as a reminder that as a aspiring teachers, we are entering a profession that deeply impacts lives.
Dr. Jestoni P. Babia is a renowned teacher and leader with great contributions to education. He was designated by former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte as the Teacher Education Council Visayas Representative.
He has also assumed different leadership roles such as Associate Vice President for Academics and Research and Director of Education for Sustainable Development.
These forums gave an opportunity for leaders in education to discuss pressing topics affecting the profession of teaching at present. Some of the discussions included challenges to the education system and how to look into the future of teaching.
Do you still remember the Security Guard who Graduated Cum Laude?
He’s a Teacher now.
Guess what? He is Erwin Macua our speaker, who was standing in front of the stage shared stories from his life as a security guard who persevered in studying in college, and when he graduated, he became a cum laude.
Many are wondering, where is Security Guard Macua now? Well, aside from the occasional appearance on a coffee advertisement for Nescafe, this inspiring man is no longer known as Security Guard Macua but as Sir Macua!
How about you, Ka Hivers? What do you get up for? If you ask me, I get up for my dreams and for the people I love!
After the event, we received our certificates. It was an honor to be part of such an insightful event, and the experience was truly enriching. The knowledge I gained will definitely benefit me in my future careers.
Following the event, a group photo was taken of all the student teachers from CTU Naga Extension Campus who joined the CADTEC @15.
It's a simple yet powerful reminder to trust our abilities. No matter what life throws at us, keep this wisdom close: Believe in yourself and the rest will follow.
This is for today’s blog Hivers! I am filled with a great sense of purpose and excitement as I reflect on the amazing experiences I had at the CADTEC@15 Student-Teachers’ Congress. I am truly happy sharing my experience with y’all. I hope you find inspiration in the stories and lessons I've shared. Until next time, Hivers! and stay tuned for another blog.
