Abstract: Passing the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) is the barometer of quality education offered by Teacher Education Institutions (TEI’s) in the country. In response to the call for academic excellence, this study analyzed the results of the 2018 performance in the Board Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (BLEPT) of Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSEd) both in Mathematics and Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) and Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) graduates of Bohol Island State University Clarin Campus. With this, the study determines the difference among the three courses in the BLEPT examination that could serve as basis for enhancing program strategies for better BLEPT results. Descriptive statistics and correlational tests were employed in the study. Results showed that BSED Math performed better among the other two curricular programs, followed by BSED TLE while BEED lagged behind. However, findings showed that the secondary level found the general education easy than the professional education but BSED TLE has to improve their performance in their field of specialization. Furthermore, BEED found general education and professional education difficult since none of these components got the passing rating. Hence, to increase LET or BLEPT performance, there’s a need to consider curriculum review and reform of the program for the development of intervention programs most especially focusing in the Elementary level.

Keywords: College of Teacher Education, Gen Ed, Prof Ed, Field of Specialization.
