COTABATO CITY (SDN) — Many Filipino learners in the country’s several public schools are in the bracket classified as “poor”.
Meaning, pupils and students in primary and secondary levels who are of the needy sector of society have to be helped in securing their school-related needs so they can have a fighting chance in their studies.
At least with complete school tools or paraphernalia they won’t have to belabor their mind over money to buy what they need. Or what their teachers require them.
That’s exactly what the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE ) is doing and trying to accomplish, among other of its myriad of goals related to improving and raising the quality of education.
One of the needs of elementary and high school students have to do with what the MBHTTE under the leadership of Minister Mohagher M. Iqbal is the Learners’ Kits.
That is why the MBHTE over this month of March distributed a total of 1,419 Learners’ Kits to the schools division of Tawi-Tawi
According to the education ministry the recipient schools are the following:
1. Boloboc Science and Technology High School
2. Pagasinan Elementary School
3. Pakias Elementary School
4. Panglima Arasia Elementary School
5. Provincial Housing Laboratory School
Under Iqbal’s leadership, the Bangsamoro through the MBHTE has been implementing various reforms related to improving and raising the quality of education through the construction of school buildings to add more classrooms, hiring of teaching and non-teaching personnel, distribution of IT equipment like personal computers, laptops, tablets, as well as fax machines, printers, TV and computer monitors, Teachers’ Kits, Learners’ Kits, and school supplies.
The Bangsamoro region, established in 2018 by the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) to implement the 2014 Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB), is made up of the provinces of Basilan, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao del Sur, Maguindanao del Norte, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi, the cities of Cotabato, Lamitan, and Marawi, as well as the Special Geographic Area’s (SGA) 63 barangays or villages that voted “Yes” in a plebiscite in February 2019 to be under the BARMM jurisdiction.
According to the Philippine Atlas BARMM has 4,404,288 people. It has 116 municipalities: Basilan, 11 municipalities; Lanao del Sur, 39; undivided Maguindanao, 36; Sulu, 19; and Tawi-Tawi, 11.
