In addition to achieving United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education.
Bringing together a dynamic mix of voices, the meeting was attended by UBLES school heads, subject heads, grade-level coordinators, and representatives from various stakeholder groups. These included alumni, parents, and educators from the high school and tertiary levels, all of whom contributed their insights and recommendations during the productive discussions.
The primary goal of the roundtable meeting was to evaluate the implementation of the Enhanced Basic Education Curriculum (K-12 Curriculum)and the MATATAG Curriculum for School Year 2024–2025.

UBLES administrators expressed their appreciation for the strong turnout and active participation of stakeholders. They emphasized the importance of this annual dialogue in ensuring that decisions related to curriculum development and school policies are grounded in diverse perspectives and shared accountability.
A key highlight of the meeting was the open forum, where parents and alumni shared feedback on how the curriculum has impacted learners at home and in the community. Teachers from the high school and college levels also provided valuable insights on the preparedness of UBLES graduates, contributing to a deeper understanding of vertical articulation and learner progression.
The collaborative spirit of the event was a testament to the commitment of UBLES to foster a culture of continuous improvement and inclusive decision-making. As a result of the discussions, action points were identified to further enhance learning delivery, strengthen home-school partnerships, and prepare students more effectively for the next stages of their academic journey.
With the success of the 2025 Tripartite Roundtable Meeting, UBLES reaffirms its dedication to educational excellence and shared leadership—an enduring hallmark of its mission to nurture globally competent and values-driven learners.
