This study assessed the Teacher Education Curriculum among private Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) in the Island of Samar in order to determine its responsiveness and relevance relative to the needs of teacher education students. This study employed the descriptive-developmental research design. The researcher determined the relevance of the teacher education programs among private TEIs in Region VIII as assessed by the school administrators, faculty, personnel, graduates, students and parents. As the result of the comparative analysis, the computed F-value was 1.697 which turned lesser than the critical F-value of 2.29 at 0.05 level of significance and at df” 5 and 60. This denoted that the numerical differences were not significant therefore the null hypothesis of no significant differences among the perceptions of the respondents on problems encountered was accepted. All the eight listed solutions were deemed or assessed by the six groups of respondents as “very much appropriate” to address the problems encountered as manifested by the grand means as follows: administrators, 5.00; faculty, 4.81;personnel, 4.86; graduates, 5.00; students, 5.00; and parents, 5.00. While the degree of relevance of the TEC of the private TEIs in the region varied from the viewpoints of the different groups of respondents, the grand means indicate that the TEC of the private TEIs in the Island of Samar have shown relevance in terms of accessibility, faculty development, instructional strategies and procedure, values formation, community involvement, and employability of graduates. The prevailing problems in the private TEIs in the Island of Samar are manageable as evidenced by the responses given, ranging from often encountered to seldom encountered.
