C & E Publishing Inc holds 2nd leg of Teachers’ Seminar

Just recently, the much awaited seminar for our very own teachers was held with the objective to    address the concerns of educators regarding the implementation of the SHS program in 2016.

 C & E Publishing, Inc. conducted the second leg of the senior high school (SHS) teacher's seminar titled "Education: Revolution: Say High to Senior High" last January 25 at the C & E Information and Resource Center in Quezon City. More than 80 faculty members and school administrators from 34 private schools in Pampanga, Laguna, Quezon, Camarines Sur, and the National Capital Region attended the activity. The first leg happened on November 27, 2015. Its success led C & E to turn it into a seminar series to benefit other schools nationwide.

In his welcome message, Rene Mupas, C & E assistant vice president for higher education and CE-Logic, said that teachers, students, parents, and publishers must unite in facing the challenges brought by the changes in the curriculum.
