Last January 16 and 17, the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities (PAASCU) accreditors visited Don Bosco Technical Institute of Makati to evaluate the Elementary and Junior High School Departments.

The accreditors conducted multiple observations and surveys in Don Bosco during the evaluation. Many of these aforestated observations concern the faculty and their qualifications for teaching, teaching performance, academic degrees, instruction delivery, curriculum implementation, and classroom management

Likewise, the efficiency, use, and safety of the school facilities, such as the libraries, laboratories, classrooms, e-classrooms, and workshops, were also evaluated Another essential aspect is class observation The accreditors conducted class observations, especially for classes under the fullonline modality.

According to Ms Reyasel Briones, a JHS Faculty, she was initially observed during her research class in Grade 9- Calazans (Full Online); initially, she was pressured “I was pressured because class observation is also a deciding factor, but I am excited to give my best with the help of my students,” Ms Briones explained
