500 hurdle NSAT City schools hold career guidance
Five hundred out of six hundred seventy fourth year students of the school passed the National Secondary Assessment Test (NSAT) given on September 2, 1994.
With this number of examinees who passed the NSAT, the school posted a 74.68 passing percentage, the second highest among the national comprehensive high schools in the province of Iloilo,
. The NSAT covered five subject areas-Mathematics. Science, English, Filipino and Vocational Aptitude. Of the five areas, according to the official results released to the school, the school's examinees faired best in English, having 80.89 percentage of passing.
As regards the level of mastery of the five subject areas, vocational aptitude has the highest percentage, 50.48 percent.
Starting school year 1994-1995, the government through DECS requires all graduating students in both public and private high schools all over the country, to take the NSAT which took the place of the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE). Unlike the NCEE, the NSAT is not a prerequisite
for admission to college. However, it is pre-
requisite for graduation from high school. It
has a bearing on the final grades of the fourth
year students in four subject areas-Science,
Math. English, and Filipino. Twenty per?
cent of the NSAT result in each of the four
subject areas will be added to 80 percent of
the general averages of the students in the
four subject areas to determine the final
grades.
It should be noted that for several years that the NCEE was given, the school ranked either first or second among national and comprehensive high schools in the province
Iof Iloilo.
For the first time in the history of the school's commencement program, the "golden jubilarians" or those who graduated from the school 50 years ago will be honored during the commencement program. The first batch of golden jubilarians belongs to Class '45, the pioneering class of then Cabatuan Regional High School.
