Nitake ko's entrance exam sa Cebu Normal University pagfirst year college nako (March 2018). Ako'ng course nga gikuha kay BSEd MAPEH during my application pero paggawas sa nakapasar sa entrance exam kay under nami's Bachelor of Physical Education (wala na'y Music and Arts) kay lagi gidivide nana siya nga kurso.

Now, some of my classmates pagcollege are sad about PRC nga dili mi makatake sa LET Board this March 19, 2023 kay dapat MAPEH in which the problem, wala ko'y units sa Music and Arts nga gitake pagcollege nako kay under nami's new curriculum which is graduate ko'g Bachelor of Physical Education and NOT BSEd MAPEH.

Ingon New Curriculum graduates and motake sa board exam karon? Ngano ni, PRC? Pakuhaon man ko nimo'g 60 units for Music and Arts. Nalipay gani ta nakahuman ta'g college unya nakatrabaho na, paeskwelahon sad ta nimo'g balik. Naunsa man oy! 🥲

Okay, back to college ni ato'ng life. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Dear 2023, are you really for me? 😥

Let me speak on behalf of my fellow BLEPT takers who came across with issues regarding specialization examinations (esp. BCAEd and BPEd).

(See photo first)

This is highly concerning on our part. Why still pursue MAPEH as a specialization for the board exam knowing that it is already divided into two, namely BCAEd and BPEd — which has been existing for the past 4 years (or so)? If this is the case, wouldn’t we BCAEd and BPEd graduates be in a major disadvantage? We BCAEd graduates studied a 4-year course specializing in Music, Visual Arts, Dance, and Theater Arts, just to take MAPEH — a generic course — as our specialization exam? How about the BPEd graduates? They’re forced to study our specialization just as much as we are forced to study theirs, just for the exam? And what’s more saddening is that we weren’t informed beforehand that even with BCAEd and BPEd, regardless of the course we’ve taken among the two, we’ll still be taking MAPEH as our specialization exam? 

Questions are (read with a respectful tone):

1. Is MAPEH still a course in Education nowadays? 

2. With BCAEd and BPEd as a “replacement” (at least, that’s how it was explained to us before) for the MAPEH course, did CHED coordinate this well with PRC? 

3. Does PRC understand the purpose of these two courses? If so, why are there no specialization exams made specifically for them?

Since we took the new curriculum, we expected that the majorship exam would also be aligned to our degrees. We fresh graduates were also discouraged and not allowed to take the BLEPT (Board Licensure Examination for Teachers) last October because they said that there’s gonna be a “New” exam made for us graduates of the “New” curriculum to be taken this coming March of 2023. It’s already January, and it’s shocking news that MAPEH is still the specialization for both BCAEd an BPEd — neglected and not updated. Is PRC really prepared in administering the board examination for the graduates of the “new” curriculum? Just by the looks of it — I think not.

In our case, if we are to take MAPEH as our specialization in the board exam, upon passing (with God’s grace), wouldn’t that OBLIGE us to become MAPEH teachers in the future? What would be the purpose of CMO No. 82 s. 2017 then? What’s the point of CHED for dividing MAPEH into two programs? 

Enlighten us, please. Commission on Higher Education(CHED), Professional Regulation Commission, baka naman.
