    WVSU Marks World Teachers’ Day With Health Services, Gifts and College Activities

    West Visayas State University marked World Teachers’ Day 2025 with activities across colleges, highlighting gratitude for educators and staff who shape future generations. At the College of Teacher Education Hall, the Asian Medical Students’ Association–WVSU launched its flagship initiative, AMSA TSEK (Tigil Saglit, E-kay), through a special program titled “Caring for the Hands that Shape Minds – A Tribute to Teachers.” About 100 participants, mostly faculty, benefited from free health consultations, blood pressure and blood sugar monitoring, urinalysis, essential medicines, and lectures on stress management and lifestyle diseases. 


    Earlier in the day, the College of Education, through its Education Student Council, distributed gifts and ice cream to teachers starting at 10 a.m. The College of Nursing, meanwhile, is set to hold its own celebration next week. The events underscore WVSU’s collective commitment to honoring teachers and non-teaching staff, recognizing them as vital contributors to education and community service.
