CSTA Review from OurHappySchool.com

COLEGIO DE STA. TERESA DE AVILA FOUNDATION INC. (CDSTDAFI)
Novaliches, Quezon City, Philippines

A) Philosophical aspect
This tertiary school is a clear-cut pragmatic school as it practically offers ladderized curricula. Taking a course in this school enables a student to get double qualifications: college diploma and national certificate/s.
Through this program, a student’s enrollment in a particular academic year would not be entirely worthless, even if he decides to stop pursuing a 4-year course at some point, for the units he has taken plus the ‘technical-vocational’ subjects he finished could enable him to get TESDA diploma or certificate which, in turn, could help him land a job in the country or abroad. After earning some amount by working for some time, a person who stopped studying due to financial problems could then pursue and finish his studies to get better jobs after graduation.

B) Psychological factors
The program itself has psychological effects to students. In some courses, a student would strive to attain the necessary skills every academic year to pass the TESDA administered test and earn a National Certificate, and be promoted to a higher year level. Knowing that every skill he/she masters qualifies him/her to receive a certificate which he/she could use to get a job, a student is better motivated to study.

C) Sociological factors
The institutions and business enterprises near the school also help the students, implicitly and otherwise. As malls like Robinsons and SM Lagro are near the school, students could get part-time jobs while being enrolled at CDSTDAFI. Thus, for these private companies to hire working students is in a way to help them finish their studies.
