July 27, 2006, former President Fidel V. Ramos challenged every Caviteño, "Sugpuin ang Kahirapan, Kaya ba natin ito?" for which all those present, hoping that GMA, Congress and all elective officials will hear and heed, answered in the strongest of their voices, "Kayang kaya!"
Stamping out poverty is a "utopian dream," but with an anti-poverty program in place and fully supported by government and all sectors, not too long will the Philippines see prosperity among its people. FVR concluded his talk by turning over his book donations to Emilio Aguinaldo College-Cavite as his birthday gift to Dr. Campos and to the stakeholders of the EAC library.
Notable among the books and journals FVR donated to Emilio Aguinaldo College-Cavite were: Fighting Terrorism By Fighting Poverty by Fidel V. Ramos; Reengineering Livelihood Development In The 21st Century edited by Ruben M. Conti; Philippines 2000- A Vision For The Nation by Studio Five Designs; The Road To Peace And Reconciliation-Muslim Perspective On The Mindanao Conflict by Amina Rasul; Building An Asia-Pacific Spirit Of Community, and Reliving APEC 1996: Select Documents & Speeches published by 1996 APEC Presidential Task Force and the Advertising Foundation of the Philippines; and So Help Us God: The Presidents Of The Philippines And Their Inaugural Address by J. Eduardo Malaya and Jonathan E. Malaya. These reading materials which significantly wage campaigns for development and poverty eradication are considered key acquisitions of the EAC library. It should be noted that Dr. Paulo C. Campos espouses "Poverty Eradication," and in fact, challenges schools to also provide education for leadership in the various disciplines, to explore models that may be used to provide better health care for all people, or in short, geared for the better life of our people. These and all are defined in the New EAC philosophy, Dr. Campos presented in July 27, 2005.
FVR's other valuable donations include: Out of the Lions' Den - The Travails and Triumph Of A Public Servant by Perfecto R. Yasay; FVR Through The Years by Ben Cal; The Life And Times Of Angela Valdez Ramos by Melandrew T. Velasco; My Part In The 1986 People Power Revolution by Jose T.

Ang bawat paaralan ay naglalayon na mapatakbo nang maganda at maayos ang nasasakupan nito. Upang mapatupad ito, kinakailangan ang mga
responsableng mag-aaral na kayang gampanan ang mga tungkulin at obligasyon bilang pinuno ng mga konseho ng mga mag-aaral. Ang mga konsehong ito, na makakatulong upang akayin sa tamang disiplina ang mga estudyante sa loob o labas man ng paaralan, ay binubuo sa pagsisimula ng klase tuwing Hunyo bawat taon.
Ang Konseho ng Edukasyon ay nagkaroon ng kanilang eleksyon noong ika-23 ng Hunyo, 2006 na pinangasiwaan ni Gng. Emelita Cruz. Nahalal sina: Al Jerald Leyson, president; Aj Sili, vice-president; Zharina Madel, secretary; Lessie Pereja, treasurer; Realyn Silva, auditor; at mga Representatives- Ma. Christina Pakingan, 1st year; Monica Cabiling, 2nd year; Harlenne Cabaron, 3rd year; at Martina Cabugawan, 4th year.
Ilan sa mga proyektong napag-usapan sa pulong na ginanap pagkatapos ng eleksyon ay ang patuloy na pagpapaganda ng mga silid-aralan ng Kolehiyo ng Edukasyon at lagiang pagsasaayos ng Bulletin Board ng departamento.
Bilang gabay sa mabuting pamumuno ibinahagi ni Al Jerald Leyson sa mga nahalal ang Constitution of the College of Education Council na ginawa ng konseho sa pamumuno ni Ronaldran Abayan, dating pangulo, noong nakaraang taon.
Laging pinapaalala ng Dekano ng Kolehiyo ng Edukasyon na si Gng. Eloisa E. Olivera na ang pagiging aktibo sa mga organisasyon, pagsusulat sa pahayagan pampaaralan, at pagsasali sa mga extra-curricular activities gaya ng mga palaro, iskauting, at mga patimpalak sa sayawan, awitan, pagbigkas/speech at iba pa, ay isang magandang pundasyon upang maging isang matagumpay na guro pagdating ng araw.
