College of Education professor Maredil Ambos (M.A.T, Ed.D.) was chosen by the Leadership in Education Academy and Development (LEAD) Philippines as one of the recipients of its Excellence Award as a College Professor.

The awarding for the recipients was held virtually on October 3, 2020.

Leadership in Education Academy and Development (LEAD) Philippines, an educational organization that provides seminars/workshops for educational leaders and teachers in the Philippines and ASEAN Countries launched a search honoring teachers/professors in different fields in the country.

“I was informed by a friend who was a winner of the Metrobank Foundation as Outstanding Teacher/Filipino that LEAD Philippines has an ongoing search. At first, I was hesitant to participate but my friend insisted that I am qualified for the prestigious search. I was then nominated by him. After the nomination, I was asked by the secretariat to submit my curriculum vitae and credentials for evaluation. The next step was the evaluation of some documents online,” said Ambos

Ambos is among the teachers nationwide who were chosen by LEAD as recipients for the said award.

He finished his Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Computer Science Education (Cum Laude), from Central Philippine University in 2001. He obtained his MA in Teaching major in Computer Studies from Southwestern University in 2013 and his Doctor of Education (Ed. D.) major in Educational Management from the University of Southern Philippines in 2016.

For the past years, Ambos’ work as an educator has been recognized by various organizations from private and public sectors. In 2011, he was chosen by the Private Schools and School Administrators Association of the Philippines (PRISAAP) as one of the Outstanding Teachers of Region VI.
