Abstract
The main objective of this study was to determine the status of the college of education; the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats; the challenges, and problems encountered by the Dean, teachers and students in the delivery of education as the basis for a structuring a development plan in Mabini Colleges. Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn: Mabini Colleges promotes and have quality assurance in terms of quality education, high qualifications of school staff and well-planned programs. Unique programs are being maintained, such as the Refresher Course, LET-like Examinations, Pinning and Candle-Lighting Ceremony, and the Testimonial Ceremony. The College has also maintained good collaboration with other schools and community extensions. However, the threats/weaknesses include insufficiency of qualified teachers, teachers’ resignation due to better salaries and benefits in public schools, insufficient number of electric fans and chairs for every room, regular maintenance check-ups for all rooms, lack of reference materials for teachers and students, and lastly, insufficient classrooms to cater a larger number of enrollees. Moreover, It was also concluded that teachers and dean had similar experiences in terms of the challenges in different phases of education. They all agreed that there is a need for an improvement plan though they believe that the institution has made a difference in the students’ life because of its contribution to quality education.
