CHED scholars complete IEMES program

The Institute for Educational Measurement, Evaluation, and Statistics (IEMES) recently celebrated the end of training of 13 teachers who joined DLSU-Manila’s Class 2001 graduation march.

All but one of them were grantees of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) College Faculty Development Fund administered by the Fund for Assistance to Private Education. The remaining member was a Department of Education, Culture, and Sports (DECS) scholar from the Bureau of Non-Formal Education.

Earning the degree Master of Science in Educational Measurement and Evaluation, the graduates held a closing ceremony of their training program on Wednesday, June 13, at the Francisco Ortigas Memorabilia Room in the University Library.

Since its establishment in 1985, the IEMES continues to serve as a training center for the preparation of teachers in measurement and evaluation. It also acts as a clearinghouse for the research and evaluation projects initiated within the network of member schools of the Center for Educational Measurement (CEM).

Established by the CEM under the aegis of DLSU-Manila’s Counselor Education Department, IEMES offers a one-year scholarship program leading to the degree of Master of Science in Educational Measurement and Evaluation.
