PNU President Dr. Bert J. Tuga emphasized the importance of a unified approach in addressing current demands based on EDCOM II research priorities. He said, “As a team, we have a common understanding of what the current demand is based on EDCOM researches so that our efforts as PNU are targeted to address urgent needs. We have also identified our priorities and timeline based on resources.”

The PNU team was led by President Dr. Bert J. Tuga, who was joined by Dr. Marilyn U. Balagtas, Vice President for Academics (VPA); Dr. Teresita T. Rungduin, Vice President for Research, Extension, and Quality Assurance (VPREQA); Dr. Gladys C. Nivera, Dean, College of Teacher Development (CTD); Dr. Antriman V.

The document serves as a preliminary discussion paper to guide RITQ’s work and PNU’s academic directions as the National Center for Teacher Education (NCTE) and advisor to the Teacher Education Council (TEC).
