The Role of General Education in LET Success
Many examinees focus too much on their Major and ProfEd, neglecting GenEd. This is a fatal mistake.
Introduction
Many examinees focus too much on their Major and ProfEd, neglecting GenEd. This is a fatal mistake.
GenEd is often the easiest part of the exam to score high in, provided you refresh your memory.
The Foundation of Competence
A teacher must be a well-rounded individual. You cannot teach English if you don't know basic Math (how will you compute grades?). You cannot teach Science if you don't understand current events.
GenEd ensures that every teacher has a baseline of literacy and numeracy.
The "Pull-Up" Factor
Majorship exams can be notoriously difficult and unpredictable. ProfEd questions can be tricky and subjective.
GenEd questions are usually factual. 1 + 1 is always 2. The capital of the Philippines is always Manila. If you master GenEd, you can get a high score (85+ or 90+), which can pull up a lower score in your Major or ProfEd, helping you reach the 75% passing average.
Cultural Literacy
GenEd connects you to your history, culture, and the world. It makes you a more interesting and effective teacher.
It allows you to relate your specific subject to broader contexts, making learning more relevant for your students.
Conclusion
Treat GenEd with respect. It is not just "stock knowledge"; it is the foundation of your professional credibility.
