“Today, ladies and gentlemen, marks an important event in the history of Capiz State University because for the very first time, post-pandemic, we will be hosting again the 9th batch of the SEA-Teacher Program, the 12 exchange student interns from 4 big universities in Indonesia who were entrusted by the respective universities to our care through the SEA-Teacher Project,” said CapSU vice-president for External Affairs and Linkages Dr. Mary Ann B. Martelino.

"Last May 4, 2023 to June 14, 2023, we already sent 18 CapSU students to Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand through the SEA Teacher Program," she stressed.

The creation of the SEA Teacher is based on the Southeast Asia Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) seven priority areas for its 11 member countries to work together to improve the quality of education in Southeast Asia.

For her part, CapSU president Dr. Editha Alfon acknowledged concerned university officials, partners from the Department of Education (DepEd) and local government units for their contribution to the success of the activity.

“We admire your courage in seeking out knowledge, learning new cultures, and absorbing best practices in education which you may use to enhance your skills in your future profession. Your dedication to becoming a world-class educator is truly remarkable,” Dr. Alfon conveyed this to the student interns.

During the program, the attendees were entertained by the CAPSU Main Chorale with their winning piece during the 12th World Choir Games 2023 in Gangneung, South Korea.
