On February 19, 2025, the University of Baguio High School (UBHS) held a successful Bread and Pastry Production NC II institutional assessment at the Cookery Laboratory (M604). The event allowed 16 Grade 11 Cookery students to demonstrate their baking and pastry-making skills in line with the standards set by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).
The assessment was supervised by Ms. Stephanie A. Yog-a, UBHS Cookery Subject Head, and TESDA-accredited assessor Ms. Melanie B. Kimbungan. During the assessment, students showed their abilities in important baking techniques, maintaining consistency in their products, and following food safety guidelines. This hands-on experience not only helped students prepare for national certification but also gave them real-life experience in the culinary field.
The event was well-organized, with careful attention to safety and time management. These elements were key in ensuring that the evaluation process ran smoothly and effectively, giving students a clear view of their strengths and areas where they could improve.
The results of the assessment will help students focus on their strengths and work on areas where they need improvement, which will make them better prepared for the future. This event highlights UBHS’s dedication to providing excellent technical and vocational education, helping students build the skills they need to succeed in the food service industry.
Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this event contributes to SDG 4 (Quality Education) by enhancing students’ vocational skills and providing them with opportunities for hands-on learning. It also supports SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) by equipping students with the necessary skills for employment in the culinary sector, fostering future opportunities for economic development. Furthermore, the inclusion of sustainable culinary practices reinforces SDG 12, encouraging responsible consumption and production in the industry.
