Far Eastern University (FEU) is taking bold steps to address the Philippine education crisis by launching its 400 Teachers Program. This initiative aims to train and enlist 200 higher education teachers, 100 teaching assistants, 50 basic education teachers, and 50 nursing teachers or clinical instructors over the next five years.
Participants in the program will receive scholarships, granting access to four 90-hour engagement sessions focused on student-centered pedagogies, advanced communication, research-based teaching, and outcomes-based assessment.

“The FEU 400 Teachers Program is a testament to our commitment to the education mission. By investing in our teachers’ professional development, we are not only enhancing the quality of education at FEU but also contributing to the broader educational landscape in the Philippines,” said Dr. Maria Teresa Trinidad P. Tinio, FEU Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs.
The program supports the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) and includes a return service requirement to help combat the nationwide teacher shortage, as highlighted by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).

FEU’s Teacher Training Caravan extends the university’s reach beyond Metro Manila, offering free professional development workshops and continuing education credits to teachers in Batangas, Cavite, Cainta, Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija, and Pampanga.
“We believe that teacher development is at the cornerstone of educational excellence. By offering professional development opportunities to teachers in underserved areas, we aim to bridge the gap in education quality,” added Dr. Tinio.
Additionally, FEU was selected by the Commission on Higher Education as a partner for the National Symposium on Innovations in Teaching and Learning on Industry 4.0 and Smart Nation, showcasing FEU’s role as a leader in shaping the future of education in the Philippines.
