To date, educational standards have experienced the combination of old and new philosophies and the experimentation of new strategies and designs to provide quality education every learner deserves. Guided by such demands, the universities become highly responsible for producing ideal educators. This study made a profile of the education students based on their learning of the standards of the total education development set in the National Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS). Utilized in this study were a researcher-made survey, researcher-made NCBTS test, and in-depth interviews with the fourth-year education students in the three private universities in Cagayan de Oro City. The study revealed most of the students' collective rating of NCBTS was POOR. The students were GOOD in Social Regard for Learning, FAIR Learning Environment, FAIR in Diversity of Learners, POOR in Curriculum, POOR in Planning, Assessing and Reporting, POOR in Community Linkages, and FAIR in Personal and Professional Growth. The findings outlined that prospective educators have not fully developed the standard framework for teaching. Hence, curriculum makers consider a yearly evaluation of students' NCBTS competencies and use it as the basis for deliberation.
