Cor Jesu College continues to strengthen its commitment to global education as selected students from the College of Education, Arts and Sciences and College of Special Programs successfully participate in an International Teaching Practicum in Thailand for one month.
The participating students are warmly welcomed at St. Peter School, Sampran, Thailand, where they were given the opportunity to apply their pedagogical knowledge in an international setting.

The student-teachers actively engage in classroom instruction, lesson planning, and school activities under the guidance of cooperating teachers from St. Peter School. The school community expressed their warm acceptance and support, recognizing the practicum as part of the students’ international teaching requirement.
The international teaching practicum is supervised by Dr. Princess Fe C. Deliva, the practicum supervisor, who ensures that the students meet academic standards while gaining meaningful teaching experience abroad.
This international engagement reflects Cor Jesu College’s dedication to producing globally competitive educators who are culturally sensitive, adaptable, and well-equipped to meet the demands of 21st-century education. The success of this program highlights the institution’s ongoing efforts to build strong international partnerships and provide transformative learning opportunities for its students.
