De La Salle Lipa (DLSL) achieved a 100% passing rate for both the elementary and secondary education levels after eight aspiring teachers successfully passed the recently concluded Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET).
Four examinees took and passed the exam at each level. At the secondary level, DLSL’s passing rate increased by 22.22% from the previous record of 77.78%.
In an interview with Lavoxa Online, Gininna Gatdula, one of the passers and currently a Senior High School teacher at DLSL, shared her preparation strategies. She read various books, attended two review centers, and watched LET review videos on YouTube, all while strengthening her faith in God.
“Yes, I reviewed a lot, but I prayed even more. I visited at least 30 churches, prayed the novena of St. Jude six times a day for nine days, prayed the rosary, visited the Capilla every day, made 11:11 wishes, and consistently talked to God,” said Gatdula.
She also hopes that other aspiring teachers will find the courage to take the examinations despite the challenges they may face.
The national passing rates were 46.67% for the elementary education level and 58.78% for the secondary education level.
The examination was administered on March 17, 2024, at various testing centers nationwide. Meanwhile, the schedule for the oath-taking ceremony has yet to be announced.
