“We learned a lot from your visit. We are truly grateful for your suggestions and recommendations.”

Dr. Rowena De Guzman, Dean of the Osias Educational Foundation (OEF) Graduate School, expressed her appreciation following the monitoring visit of CHED Region I Education Supervisors in Balaoan, La Union, on February 22, 2025.

During the visit, Dr. Al Gerald Barde and Engr. Leonora Quarte provided detailed observations and recommendations to address identified gaps in OEF’s Master of Arts in Education (MAED) program.

They commended the expansion of the library and the enrichment of its resources, as well as the strong faculty line-up.

The supervisors also shared insights on further strengthening the institution’s curriculum and research initiatives.

“At first, we were nervous, but after your sharing and technical assistance, we now feel more encouraged to do better,” Dr. De Guzman remarked during the exit conference.

She also reaffirmed OEF’s commitment to actively participating in CHED programs and projects to continuously enhance the quality of education at the institution.

OEF, the only higher education institution in Balaoan, is led by its president, Dr. Danilo Concepcion.
