Hello po. Ask lang sana ako, especially sa mga LPTs na may experience na mag-apply sa DepEd:

1. Sa DepEd application po ba, Certificate of Rating lang usually ang hinihingi from PRC? If yes, baka hindi ko na need kumuha pa ng Certificate of Passing at Good Standing sakali.
2. Need pa po ba ng authenticated copies, or enough na ang photocopy? Based kasi sa DO 20, s. 2024, photocopy lang ng Certificate of Rating ang nabanggit nasa requirements.
3. If magkaiba ang appointment dates ng original at authenticated copies, possible po ba na sabay nalang silang kunin sa latest schedule? Medyo magastos kasi kung pabalik-balik. 😅
4. After oathtaking, ilang days usually bago mag-appear yung “Attended” sa LERIS for initial registration? Nasusunod din po ba usually yung date for initial registration na nasa website?
5. For NCR LEPT passers, mas okay po ba kunin yung first batch/first day ng oathtaking? Concern ko lang baka magkaubusan ng pin at booklet if later schedule pa.

Thank you, teachers! I appreciate your effort taking time to respond.

Hi po, I took BSEd Values Education in my undergrad and I am currently planning to pursue my master’s degree.

During my internship, some DepEd teachers mentioned that taking a master’s degree aligned with your undergrad specialization is often a wise move for promotion and career growth.

My initial plan was to pursue MAEd Values Education (MAVE). However, I noticed that only a few schools offer VE as a stand-alone specialization, and many programs integrate it with religious or faith-based education, which may not fully align with the direction I want to take.

I also completed my undergrad in PNU, and I am now hoping to explore other universities for my graduate studies.

Right now, I am choosing between:

• Master of Family Life and Child Development
• MA in Social Studies Education @ UPOU
• Other related MAEd programs (PUP, UP, other state universities)

My goal is to teach in SHS and eventually grow within DepEd.

Would like to ask for your insights:

• Which of these options is more practical for promotion and career growth in DepEd?
• Is it better to stay aligned with my specialization, or okay lang to shift to a broader field?

Thank you po in advance!

Hi everyone, im BSED Values Education graduate and im planning to pursue my master’s degree soon.

My initial plan was to take MAED Values Education (MAVE) since it is aligned with my degree. However, i already finished my undergrad in PNU, so im also considering exploring other universities and programs.

Right now, im choosing between:

• UP Diliman (MFLCD or other MAED options)
• UP Open University (DSSE → MASSE)
• PNU Manila (MAVE or related programs)

I also looked into DLSU/UA&P, but their related programs are often integrated with religious education, which may not fully align with the direction i want.

My main concerns are:

• Tuition and overall cost
• Transpo / possible dorm setup (for UPD)
• Work-study balance (i plan to work while studying, possibly in SHS)
• Workload and academic demands
• Career outcomes (especially for SHS or college teaching)

I’m particularly interested in:

• Master of Family Life and Child Development (MFLCD)
• MA in Social Studies Education (MASSE) @ UPOU
• MAEd in Values Education (MAVE)

My goal is to teach in SHS and eventually in college, while choosing a program that is sustainable financially and manageable while working.

Would really appreciate insights on:

• actual cost (tuition + living expenses)
• workload/difficulty
• feasibility of working while studying
• and which option might be more practical overall

Thank you po!
