The Adventist University of the Philippines (AUP) celebrated exceptional performance by the College of Teacher Education (CTE) in the March 2026 Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LEPT) results, which revealed an excellent 100% passing rate for AUP’s first-time takers in both Elementary and Secondary Education levels, where the general passing averages were recorded at 56.03% for the elementary level and 73.01% for secondary education.

Reflecting the Greatest Teacher

AUP expressed immense joy in acknowledging that these new Licensed Professional Teachers (LPTs) are stepping into their respective classrooms; they carry a distinct calling to reflect the character of the Greatest Teacher.

The achievement marks yet another milestone for the AUP’s ACE education and honing not just teachers but character builders.

A Vision for the Here and the Hereafter

“We praise God for the success of our CTE graduates in the Teachers’ Licensure Examination, with a 100% passing rate,” Dr. Rosario, the AUP president, expressed. “We offer nothing but love and respect for you, and praises and worship to God for this wonderful gift. We not only congratulate our newly minted educators but also our seasoned educators who have molded them.”

Dr. Rosario uniquely highlighted the sacred, eternal scope of the teaching profession and thanked the CTE faculty for continuously advancing the vital work of redemptive education. “It won’t be long before we meet God face to face, because of the humble but powerful work you do in the classroom,” she noted, highlighting the prophetic and transformative nature of the teaching ministry.

She also thanked the network of families and benefactors who anchored the CTE graduates throughout their academic journey, commending the parents and sponsors for their profound sacrifices and forward-looking vision, while praying that God would continue to reward their dedication to His work.

In her final charge, Dr. Rosario sent forth the new CTE alumni with a powerful, mission-driven directive aimed at eternity: “Congratulations, our dear alumni! Serve with humility and go forth preparing students not just for the here but also for the hereafter. And as you go, may God be your companion. Shine on!”
