Hi, Gregy!
We’re sorry, but as much as we’d like to help, we’re not too sure about that. The one who’s probably in the best position to answer that question is either the Commission on Higher Education, the Department of Labor and Employment, or the school you’re planning to work at, so we suggest you contact them directly so they can give you a more accurate response.
I am graduate of Bachelor in Elementary Education major in Library science year 2003, i had 3 failed examinations, last year taken was year 2007, i have a plan to take next year by the month of July, May i ask what i can do, Do i need to study uniting or take masteral degree in preschool or review at the review center? please help me. Thank you.
Hi, Madel!
As much as we’d like to answer that question for you, we’re not really in the position to. Contacting the Philippine Librarians Association, Inc. might prove to be a better option as they have a lot of professional librarians who would be able to answer your question better than we can.
