To promote shared decision-making in shaping the Collegeโs strategic direction, the College of Education (CED) of Partido State University (ParSU) conducted a Stakeholdersโ Consultation Meeting on October 21, 2025.
In his message, ParSU President Dr. Arnel B. Zarcedo emphasized that decision-making in education โmust be a dialogue, not a dictateโโone built on listening, humility, and collaboration.
The consultation embodied this principle by engaging teachers, students, alumni, partner schools, and community representatives in charting the future of the College. Dean Dr. Joan Monforte-Bedes presented the Collegeโs curricular proposals, strategic priorities, and applications for Centers of Development and Excellence, while Associate Dean Mr. Marvin O. Gabatin joined the activity virtually to present key initiatives in research, extension, internationalization, microcredentials, and digital transformation.
Stakeholders from various sectors shared valuable insights and recommendations during the plenary and breakout sessions, which focused on Curriculum, Program Relevance and Instructional Innovation, and Future-Forward Strategies and Stakeholder Engagement.
These discussions produced actionable inputs to guide the Collegeโs continuous improvement initiatives and policy directions.
ParSU reinforces its commitment to participatory governance and inclusive educational development through this collaborative endeavor, advancing Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
