Reviews of BSEd in Mathematics graduates:

J. C.

◈ Studied Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Mathematics
◈ At Saint Joseph College of Bulacan
◈ Graduated 2014

Why did I choose BSEd in Mathematics: I chose this course because Mathematics is something I've loved all my life. I know I'd be able to impart the knowledge I've gained and honed through all the years of my study to the students that I'll be meeting in the future.

About my college education: The course itself is very interesting and enjoyable. Future teachers get to understand how the education system and the learning process works according to theories and from personal experiences.

I think that the attitude/trait needed to succeed in this course is the love for three things: The love for the students, the love for the subject, and the love for lifelong learning.

My current job: My current job is a Math Teacher.

Am I using what I learned in college: Yes, they were practical. The theories; especially the learning and developmental theories, and my 1 year OJT experience helped me cope with the challenges I face in my current job.

How long did it take to find a job: It did not take much time. The school in which I took my On-the-Job training absorbed me into their faculty after graduation.

Do I recommend studying BSEd in Mathematics: I would recommend it in terms of employment opportunities and as a career but not for the salary level.
The employment opportunities for teachers are currently huge especially with the introduction of K-12 program in our educational system. Several schools would be needing more man power with the addition of 3 levels (Kindergarten, 11th, and 12th grade) of mandatory education in the system.

The only downside of teaching is the Salary level, but it is not something to think about. Because as I said, Teaching is Public Service, money is not something you think about when you engage in teaching; the principal consideration you should take is the readiness to sacrifice something for the good of the community.

Advice to people who are thinking of studying this course: Just love the course and everything would just come together smoothly. Taking an education course is a service to the public, if they're not ready to serve the community, I would advise them not to take the course.
