Providing opportunities for out-of-school youths and underprivileged adults
WHILE access to basic education has been secured for the younger generation, many young Filipinos have dropped out of school for various reasons. In order to provide new opportunities for these out-of-school youths and adults in poor and remote communities, the Department of Education (DepEd), in collaboration with the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC), has implemented programs under its Alternative Learning System (ALS). This year the ALS program targets over 70,000 beneficiaries with the dispatch of around 1,400 ALS mobile teachers nationwide.

Showing our indebtedness to the nation’s senior citizens

AKO po ay taos-pusong nagpapasalamat sa inyong pag-imbita sa akin na dumalo sa inyong Senior Citizens’ Summit na pinangungunahan ng pamunuan ng Federation of Senior Citizens Associations of the Philippines, Inc. at Regional Senior Citizens’ Federation-NCR.

Social studies in basic education
By Florangel Rosario Braid
DURING my elementary and high school days in the early 40’s, our social studies curriculum was quite simple — focusing on civics, good citizenship and basic geography and history of the country.
