Earning yet another national recognition, the Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) – College of Education (CEd) has secured its spot among the country’s top teacher education institutions (TEIs). According to the recently released results of the September and November 2025 Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LEPT) by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), TAU ranks 8th among top-performing schools at the elementary level in the category for institutions with 50 to 99 examinees.

TAU-CEd’s performance in the elementary level examination recorded a remarkable 98.36% first-time pass rate. Overall, 61 out of 64 examinees successfully passed, achieving a 95.31% institutional passing rate, a figure that far exceeds the national passing rate of 51.05% and underscores the program’s exceptional preparation and support for its students.

This culture of excellence extends to the secondary level as well. First-time takers achieved a 95.45% passing rate, while the overall institutional performance reached 87.63%, with 85 out of 97 examinees passing. These results comfortably surpass the national passing rate of 72.62%, highlighting TAU-CEd’s consistent commitment to high-quality teacher education at the secondary level.

In a Facebook post, CEd Dean Dr. Claire Anne A. Olivares emphasized that these results reflect the University’s consistent delivery of quality instruction, strong mentoring, and the efforts and sacrifices of both students and faculty. “Above all, they stand as a powerful testament to our shared commitment to excellence in teacher education,” she remarked.

Meanwhile, TAU President Dr. Silverio Ramon DC. Salunson extended his commendations to the successful examinees, noting that this achievement underscores the University’s institutional commitment to excellence and its robust curriculum designed to meet professional demands. “I have no doubt that CEd graduates are prepared not only for the examination but also for the world beyond TAU’s gates,” he stated.

TAU-CEd’s undergraduate programs also hold Level IV accreditation from the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities of the Philippines (AACCUP), further cementing its status as a premier institution for teacher education.
