One hundred ninety-eight pre-service teachers (PSTs) from across different programs of BiPSU School of Teacher Education (STEd) officially received their pins, a symbol of the commencement of their internship program, during the 3rd Pinning Ceremony.

The solemn ceremony, held on November 12 at the university gymnasium, aimed to highlight the Pre-service teachers individually as they set off in their internship journey as part of their preparation of their Experiential Learning Course.

In his message, University President Dr. Victor C. Cañezo, Jr., reminded them that teaching is not merely a profession but a noble vocation that demands dedication, compassion, and a lifelong commitment to learning.

“You are aligning your passion with purpose, ready to make a profound impact on the lives of your future students,” Dr. Cañezo said. “You have the power to shape minds, ignite curiosity, and inspire dreams.”

The said ceremony was also attended by Hon. Alan Paul Tubis, SP Member, Chair Committee on Education, family members of the PSTs, STEd Dean Dr. Maribel Zipagan, and STEd chairpersons and faculty members.

Meanwhile, in her message, Dr. Zipagan emphasized that the pin celebrates a significant milestone of the pre-service teachers and symbolizes three areas: the identity, sacrifice and support of family, and BiPSU.

“Being a BiPSUnista means that you are already ready to put into practice all the knowledge that you have gained from the classrooms and the teachers into the real world,” Dr. Zipagan expressed.

The BiPSU PSTs will commence their internship program in the second week of January next year. They will be deployed to the different cooperating schools in Biliran and Leyte divisions.
