The Philippine Normal University is the National Center for Teacher Education for a reason.

The Philippine Normal University convened the members of the Gender and Development Focal Point System (GFPS), in a three-day assembly from May 14 to 16, 2025, at PonteFino Hotel in Batangas City. The assembly aimed to enhance the competencies of GFPS members in critical areas such as gender analysis, gender mainstreaming, and Gender and Development (GAD) planning and budgeting. As part of PNU’s ongoing efforts to promote gender sensitivity and responsiveness in policies and programs, the assembly featured a comprehensive GAD seminar that brought together key resource speakers to share essential concepts and tools for effectively mainstreaming gender equality within organizational frameworks. The assembly was organized by the Gender Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Office.

More than 170 educators, researchers, and policymakers from the Philippines and neighboring countries gathered for the 2nd International Conference on Multicultural Education and Interdisciplinary Studies (ICMEIS 2025), held from April 23 to 25, 2025 at Almont Inland Resort in Butuan City.
