3 Things you need to do before taking the licensure exams for teachers

One of the noblest and oldest professions in the book is being a teacher. It holds high repute in the community of being a position of respect and credibility. Teachers can be considered as the real unsung heroes of the society for they are the ones who really do all the “dirty” job for this country: building a nation through educating the public, teaching values, sitting down on tedious election, and shaping the generation that will soon be the ones to take over in running the government. Though graduates of education can seek employment in private schools and tutorial centers here in the Philippines and abroad even right after graduation, it is still the ambition of every graduate of a bachelor’s degree in education to have their own license. And one of the requirements of achieving the status of being a true professional teacher is to pass the Licensure Exam for Teachers (LET).

Beside from being officially labeled as a professional, passing the LET would also mean that teachers would be able to do practice in the public schools. It will open various benefits like higher pay (not to compare to what private schools and tutorial centers in the Philippines can offer in general), retirement pension, and GSIS loan. This will also prove that the passer has met the academic and legal bars to teach, boosting their confidence and pride as a teacher. But passing the LET is no easy task and ample preparation is necessary. In the last March 2015 examination, only 12,103 or 27.42% out of 44,144 passed the exam for elementary teachers and 17,904 (33.63%) secondary teachers came up tall out of 56,596 takers. 12,630 of these passers are repeat takers. The exam goes through a lot of revision each year to maintain its quality.
