The Commission on Higher Education – Caraga Regional Office (CHED Caraga) partnered with the Caraga Regional Association of Arts and Sciences Educators Inc (CRAASEI) in holding a Best Practices Video Contest with students and faculty of various Caraga Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) on the morning of August 25, 2021 via ZOOM Teleconferencing and Facebook Live as part of the activities for the month-long celebration of the 54th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Founding Anniversary.

The participating HEIs showcased the best practices relevant to Arts and Sciences education in their video entries, keeping in line with the theme, “Padyak! Moving forward, claiming victory for the Philippine Higher Education (PHE) in the ASEAN Community.” Their entries were subsequently evaluated by a panel of judges, where the winners were chosen on the basis of their content, creativity, and delivery.

Participants returned for the announcement of winners during the Culmination Program on August 27, 2021. The resulting winners were as follows: 1st Place with a cash prize of Php 3,000 – Philippine Normal University Mindanao (PNU Mindanao); 2nd Place with a cash prize of Php 2,000 – Agusan Del Sur State College of Agriculture and Technology (ASSCAT); and 3rd Place with a cash prize of Php 1,000 – Don Jose Ecleo Memorial Foundation College of Science and Technology (DJEMFCST).
