ang CatSU,β Catanduanes State University (CatSU) President Dr. Patrick Alain T.
Azanza said this during the General Orientation for College of Education (CoEd)
students and their parents, September 20, underscoring the transformative
'care' initiatives undertaken by CatSU under his leadership, which have
significantly improved the university's infrastructure and internal processes.
Dr. Azanza outlined his
commitment to continue such initiatives within CoEd, one of which is the
comprehensive review of the 'retention policy' of the College in collaboration
with CoEd faculty and OIC-Vice President for Research, Extension, and
Production Affairs Dr. Rosana S. Abundo, Dean Dr. Maria Sheila R. Gregorio, and
CoEd faculty members.
βPigaadalan mi man, in a thorough
review, ang retention policy kan College of Education. Gusto tang ireview ini
so that it can be flexible in certain circumstances like during pandemic and
calamities, na pwedeng makaapekto sa performance ninda,β he explained, also
emphasizing the importance of maintaining educational quality throughout this
process.
He has also plans to lobby this
in the Board of Regents, where he serves as Vice-Chairperson, and to include
considerations for graduating students.
Dr. Azanza also encouraged CoEd
students to excel in their studies and succeed in licensure exams, especially
since the university has made available a review center within CatSU to
alleviate the financial burden on parents.
βDinara ta sa CatSU ang review
para sa mga estudyante. Dakulang tabang tabi iyan, ta ang gusto ta, dai
magparagastos ang mga magurang,β he said, further imploring that the cost of
review within CatSU ranges from 10 to 15 thousand pesos, significantly lower
than the 50 thousand pesos and above charged on the mainland.
The President mentioned that he
has already opened the Men's Dorm and Ladies Dorm, allowing students to use a
common kitchen to save on expenses.
βInopen ta na ang Menβs Dorm and
ang Ladies Dorm, allowed na magluto ang mga aki ta kung igwang bagas na dara,
makaluto mismo sa dorm. At the lowest rate of 1 thousand per student compared
sa mga presyo nin dorms sa luwas,β he said.
Moreover, Dr. Azanza proudly
announced that the university's four buses will be delivered in a few weeks,
and these will operate free round-trip routes from North to South, further
easing the financial burdens of parents.
The president also encouraged
students to study smart for them to graduate, and consider pursuing a Master's
degree, saying that the university continually opens new plantilla instructor
positions, following the approval of 56 new instructor items by the Department
of Budget and Management (DBM). #ATugay
