I<\/span>n a significant step towards promoting road safety awareness among college students, the University and the Land <\/span>Transportation Office (LTO) signed a Memorandum of <\/span>Agreement (MOA) at the Finster Hall of All Nations on <\/span>September 18, 2024. This momentous event marked the <\/span>formalization of their partnership aimed at integrating the \u201cStudent Today, Road Users of Tomorrow\u201d (STRUT) modules into the University\u2019s Vocational Education Driving Course.<\/span><\/p>\n The partnership supports the University\u2019s mission to foster a holistic educational experience that addresses a significant aspect of daily life: road safety. <\/span>AUP President Dr. Arceli H. Rosario emphasized the <\/span>institution\u2019s commitment to producing responsible citizens and road users. \u201cWe are empowering our students to be road safety ambassadors, fostering a community that prioritizes safety and responsibility,\u201d she stated. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThis partnership with AUP represents a shared vision of creating safer roads through education. By equipping young drivers with the skills and mindset needed to navigate the complexities of our roads, we are investing in a safer future for everyone,\u201d LTO Calabarzon Regional Director Elmer J. Decena expressed. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”6614,6615″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The driving course, a two-unit subject (equivalent to 36 hours), will now incorporate 18 hours of theoretical road safety <\/span>instruction, as the LTO specified. <\/span><\/p>\n The MOA outlines vital provisions of road safety modules. With this, the LTO will provide AUP with materials that will serve as templates for the road safety modules in the driving course. LTO will also conduct evaluation, training, and orientation <\/span>seminars for the AUP College of Science and Technology faculty and staff in preparation for the launch of the STRUT program. Therefore, upon completion of the driving course, the University students will be qualified to receive a certificate of completion for the Theoretical Driving Course (TDC), a <\/span>requirement for obtaining a student permit. This certificate, issued by LTO\u2019s Driver\u2019s <\/span>Education Center, will streamline students\u2019 permit application process.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a significant step towards promoting road safety awareness among college students, the University and the Land Transportation Office (LTO) signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) at the Finster Hall […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-19 15:12:28","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6605"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6605\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6617,"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6605\/revisions\/6617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aup.edu.ph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
