Carlos Hilado Memorial State University is once again among the top-performing schools in the country, as the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) released the Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers for March 2025.
The CHMSU Talisay Campus ranked 7th among the Top Performing Schools (Secondary Level) after garnering an average of 91.74 percent overall passing rate, a press release from the university said Friday, May 23.
A total of 200 examinees out of 218 takers from the campus passed the LEPT.
CHMSU Talisay Campus’ feat falls under the top performing schools with 100-299 examinees with at least a 90 percent passing rate.
Ma. Carmela Delada, a graduate of the Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Science program at the Talisay Campus, also ranked fourth in the secondary level of the LEPT.
“My success is 50 percent effort and 50 percent faith in God,” said Delada, who thanked her family, friends, and mentors at CHMSU for their unwavering support.
A Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Science cum laude graduate in 2024, Delada achieved a 93.20 percent passing rate in the March 2025 Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LEPT).
While staying focused on her review, she also made it a point to spend quality time with her family during special occasions, believing in the importance of balance and emotional well-being, she said.
Now a licensed professional teacher, she is eagerly seeking opportunities to share her passion for education and inspire young minds in the classroom, Delada said.
“This is truly an honor for CHMSU to continue excelling in LEPT and producing quality graduates of our pre-service teacher education programs,” CHMSU College of Education Dean Ophelia Duayan said.
In April, CHED recognized CHMSU Talisay Campus with two Excellence in Quality Assurance in Teacher Education (EQUATE) Awards for its elementary and secondary levels pre-service teacher education programs.*
