August 17, 2026 || Pre-Deployment Orientation Prepares Pre-Service Teachers for Field Study

The College of Teacher Education conducted its Pre-Deployment Orientation today for the 208 pre-service teachers who are set to begin their Field Study in partner schools in the province.

During the orientation, the BEED Program Head, Dr. Ramir S. Bañez, discussed to the students of their duties and responsibilities as field observers, emphasizing the importance of proper conduct, punctuality, confidentiality, and active participation while in the assigned schools.

The College Dean, Dr. Marian Valera, likewise reminded the students to be respectful, disciplined, and initiative-taking as they enter the school environment. She encouraged them to observe carefully, ask appropriate questions, and make the most of every opportunity to learn from teachers, learners, and the school community.

The orientation served as an important reminder that Field Study is not simply about observing classes, it is an opportunity for pre-service teachers to understand the realities of the teaching profession and prepare themselves for their future role as educators.

The orientation was also attended by the other Program Heads (Dr. Dexter Ulidan, Dr. Emalyn Bisares and Ms. Ann Creia P. Tupasi) and Supervising Instructors (Mr. Charlie Vitales and Ms. Mary Joy Corpuz), whose responsibilities are guiding and monitoring the pre-service teachers throughout their field study.

Today, we finally celebrate a dream that many have worked and waited for, the conversion of ASIST into the University of Abra.

What once felt like a distant goal is now a reality. Behind this historic moment are years of hard work, sacrifices, prayers, and the commitment of so many people who believed that Abra deserves a university of its own.

Proud and grateful to have witnessed this chapter and to be part of this history. From ASIST to the University of Abra… this is our story, and this is our moment. ❤️

💙

Abra now has its first state university.

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has approved the compliance of the Abra State Institute of Sciences and Technology (ASIST) with the requirements for conversion into the University of Abra, making it the province’s first and only state university following its substantial compliance with the requirements for university status.

The milestone supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s emphasis on raising the quality of Philippine higher education. ASIST’s conversion followed CHED’s validation of its compliance with established university standards, underscoring that institutional growth must be matched by demonstrated academic and organizational capacity.

For learners, this provides greater assurance that the University of Abra’s expanded role is built on established standards of quality.
