PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
A B C D E F G
The BEED is structured to meet the needs of
professional teachers for elementary schools and
special education programs in the Philippines, and the
BSED for the needs of professional teachers for
secondary schools in the Philippines.

1. The BEED aims to develop elementary teachers
who are either (a) generalist who can teach
across the different learning areas in grade
school, (b) special education teacher, or (c) pre-
school teachers.
2. The BSED aims to develop high school teachers
who can teach in one of the different learning
areas in high school like Mathematics, Physical
Sciences, English, Filipino, among others.
