The distinction—one of the highest recognitions granted to higher education programs in the country—signals the program’s unwavering commitment to quality assurance, academic excellence, and transformative teacher education.
The announcement, dated November 18, 2025, was formally endorsed to CTU following the completion of a rigorous series of assessments conducted on August 5, 19, and 27, 2025. The evaluation affirmed that the BEEd program satisfactorily met all mandatory recommendations, culminating in its conferment as a Level IV Re-Accredited program, effective September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2030.

For CTU-Argao’s College of Education, this recognition symbolizes not only compliance with standards but also a deep institutional culture of excellence shaping future educators.
A Triumph of Collective Commitment
Behind this achievement lies years of deliberate effort: strengthening curriculum offerings, enhancing research productivity, expanding extension engagements, and upgrading facilities in alignment with contemporary teacher education needs.
“This is more than an accreditation milestone—it is a testament to our vision of producing highly competent, compassionate, and globally responsive teachers,” shared the College of Education Dean, Dr. Jorelyn P. Concepcion and BEEd core faculty. “Our faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community partners all played vital roles in reaching this level of honor.”
