West Visayas State University (WVSU) honored the pre-service fourth year students from College of Education (COE) and the College of Physical Education, Culture, Arts, and Recreation (PESCAR) during the 2nd Teaching Internship Pinning and Completion Rites held earlier today at the WVSU Cultural Center.

The ceremony recognized 566 student teachers comprised of 456 from COE, and 110 from PESCAR.

As featured in the event, the distribution of certificates of completion were awarded to Bachelor of Special Needs Education (BSNED) Generalist Teaching Internship completers for the academic year 2024 to 2025.

The program included the pinning ceremony, the recitation of the practice teachers’ creed, and the induction of COE teaching internship officers.

Known as batch INARA, the ceremony concluded with the singing of the batch song, “Long Live” by Taylor Swift.

As they step into the world of teaching, the 566 pre-service teachers carry forward a strong tradition of excellence and a commitment to lifelong learning. This milestone marks the start of their journey as educators, ready to inspire and shape future generations.
