Are we extending?
Our 10th Founding Anniversary has the theme, “Extending beyond our competencies.” But are we really extending our competencies? Is quality education really our goal for today’s generation?
Before the school announced that they are expanding our so called competency, the institution raised the level of teaching hiring professors with a Master’s degree to teach the students. They even sent people to other country to promote our school and invite them to enroll in our institution. But the same old problems are still haunting our school until now. And those problems are adding up because of the competency they’re trying to extend.
It seems like it’s not what they’re trying to do. How can we extend our school‘s competency if the rooms are not enough for the students and yet they’re planning to offer more programs? Furthermore, the subject schedule is changing every now and then, resulting into some students dropping a number of their enrolled subjects just to comply with the said change in schedule.
We all know that some professors being hired are degree holders. We pay them a bulk of money to teach us but some of them are not doing it. Since some of them are just instructing the students to make a report and discuss it on their own and some of them are not even attending their respective class, leaving the students doing what the professors should be doing. Yes there are good professors that remain but some of them just come and go.
With this, we need to make sure that we mean the words we put in every marketing collateral that we released; making sure that our professors are competent enough to mold us students; and make sure that the same old problems have already been given concrete solutions.
In that way, we students would be more than proud to say that we are from SDCA and more than proud to wear red-colored uniforms and say to others that we came from an institution that extended us beyond our capabilities.
