Turo Para sa Katoto is one of the community extension activities of the UB College of Education that provides meaningful learning opportunities to young learners from selected barangays. Through this initiative, selected CEDU students serve as volunteer teachers who facilitate engaging lessons, educational activities, and values-centered learning experiences designed to support the children’s academic and personal development.
The program also allows future educators to apply their knowledge, teaching skills, and professional values in an actual community setting. By promoting literacy, creativity, and active participation, Turo Para sa Katoto reflects the College of Education’s commitment to extending quality education beyond the classroom and strengthening its partnership with local communities.
With hearts committed to service and learning, Mr. Raven Mendoza, Ms. Ma. Theresa Manansala, together with students from the Bachelor of Elementary Education, shared Filipino lessons with young learners on January 31 — bringing meaningful and engaging learning experiences closer to the community.
The program continued on February 28, 2026, led by Mr. Raven Mendoza alongside students from the Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Mathematics, proving that Mathematics can be fun, engaging, and easy to understand when taught with patience and genuine care.
More than a teaching experience, Turo para sa Katoto became a reminder that education is an act of service. Because teaching is not only about shaping minds — it is about touching lives, inspiring dreams, and serving the community with compassion and purpose.
#CEDUCenterofExcellenceinTeacherEducation
Last September 20 in Tinga, Labac, the College of Education brought learning, energy, and service to the community through Turo Para sa Katoto!
Led by Dr. Angela Napa, together with Ms. Kristine I. Herrera, Mr. El Nazareno Lanorte, and the selected officers of the Future Educators’ Union, the day began with attendance, a heartfelt prayer, and a lively energizer that lifted everyone’s spirits.
With smiles and enthusiasm, the students then participated in a need assessment on selected subjects — English, Math, and Filipino, highlighting their eagerness to learn and grow. This was followed by the completion of evaluation forms. After that, food packs were distributed to the students who attended.
It was more than just a program — it was a day of learning, laughter, and community. Truly, Turo Para sa Katoto reminds us that education is not only about knowledge, but also about compassion, service, and connection.
