Around 200 students from the University of Caloocan City (UCC) College of Education became part of the 3rd Pinning Ceremony held at the Bulwagang Katipunan on Wednesday, September 27 to mark the start of said students’ first 200 hours of internship at different city schools.
Two separate ceremonies were held for students from the two UCC campuses, with the morning session dedicated to the South campus while the afternoon iteration was done for the North campus students.
City Mayor Dale Gonzalo “Along” Malapitan expressed his pride and admiration towards the students and hoped that they would all continue to work hard to be full-fledged teachers in the city one day.
“Congratulations po sa lahat ng ating mga future teachers! Bunga ito ng inyong pagsisikap sa pag-aaral nitong mga nakaraang taon, kaya sana ay ipagpatuloy niyong paghusayan ang inyong mga ginagawa nang sa gayon ay kayo ang maging guro ng mga kapwa niyo Batang Kankaloo balang araw,” the Mayor stated.
Mayor Along acknowledged the great benefit the city receives from improving the local quality of education and pledged to strengthen the support that his administration has provided to the city university and other public schools.
“Tuloy-tuloy po ang suportang ibinibigay natin sa sektor ng edukasyon sa ating lungsod, lalo na ang mga programa natin upang bawasan ang gastos ng mga mag-aaral mula elementarya hanggang kolehiyo nang sa ganoon ay mahikayat silang ipagpatuloy ang kanilang pag-aaral,” Mayor Along said.
“Ngayon, kita niyo naman po ang epekto ng pagbibigay natin ng prayoridad sa edukasyon. Madadagdagan na naman ang ating mga guro, bukod pa sa ibang mga mag-aaral mula sa ibang mga college programs. Tunay ngang maganda ang kinabukasan ng Caloocan kung uunahin natin ang ating mga kabataan,” he added.
