School Profile

- Iloilo Science And Technology University

ISAT U Main Campus, La Paz, Iloilo City

ISAT U was established in 1905 with its first name being Iloilo Trade School and in 1983, ISAT U was converted into a public campus under the name Western Visayas College of Science and Technology. The campus is located on the Visayas island of the Philippines, precisely in the city of Iloilo, Iloilo Province. ISAT U is not only located in one place. There are several campuses, namely La Paz, Barotac, Dumangas, Leon, and Miag-ao. On this occasion, I had the opportunity to be at the central campus located in La Paz. Inside the central campus, there are many educational support facilities such as Laboratory Facilities, Physical Structures, Laboratory Instrumens, Hotel and Restaurant Technology Physical Facilities and Laboratories. For the teaching system, ISAT U consists of 4 teaching years with semester exams and end-of-semester exams starting in February-June and August-December. In the education system, many lecturers teach by using Quiz as an evaluation and reminder for students. This makes students at ISAT U very quick to learn. I learned a lot from the friends I made during my time there.

- Laboratory School Of ISAT U

College Of Education (COE) and Lab School Hall

On this occasion, I was placed to teach at one of ISAT U's schools, called Laboratory School Of ISAT U. This school consists of 4 classes which are junior high schools, ranging from grade 7 to grade 10. each level has 2 classes, so there are 8 classes in total. The education system here is somewhat different from my home country, Indonesia, because junior high school in Indonesia is taken in 3 years, while here it is 4 years. As for the facilities, they are indeed complete, as they are located in the same area as the ISAT U Campus, making it easier for students to access the facilities. The facilities include a hall, library, cafeteria, computer lab, and a field that supports students to conduct extracurricular activities. Classes start at 07:30 until 16:30 local time. Teachers usually use a blackboard or LCD projector to explain lessons.
