English: According to Gatchalian, the Excellence in Teacher Education Act needs full implementation to address low passing rates of the LET and to increase the number of high-performing TEIs. The law, which Gatchalian authored and sponsored, seeks to improve the quality of teacher education and training through a revamped Teacher Education Council (TEC), which will strengthen the coordination between the Department of Education (DepEd), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). This is to ensure coherence in teacher education and training from pre-service to in-service.
Filipino: Ayon kay Gatchalian, kinakailangan ang ganap na pagpapatupad ng Excellence in Teacher Education Act upang tugunan ang mababang passing rate sa LET at upang paramihin ang bilang ng mga high-performing TEIs. Sa ilalim ng batas na akda ni Gatchalian, iaangat ang kalidad ng pagsasanay at edukasyon sa mga guro sa pamamagitan ng pinatatag na Teacher Education Council (TEC) na magpapaigting sa ugnayan ng Department of Education (DepEd), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), at Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). Titiyakin ng TEC ang ugnayan sa iba't ibang yugto ng teacher education mula pre-service hanggang in-service.
