World Bank: $110 million program will help 2 million schoolchildren in Mindanao.
According to the World Bank, the recently approved Teacher Effectiveness and Competencies Enhancement Project (TEACEP) is anticipated to benefit more than 60,000 teachers and school administrators and over 2 million elementary pupils throughout Mindanao.
The World Bank stated over the weekend that the project aims to enhance learning outcomes for kindergarten through sixth grade (Kโ6) students by providing teachers with professional development opportunities through a thorough coaching and professional development program.
The project will be carried out in the Zamboanga Peninsula, South Cotabato, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, and General Santos, as well as the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), with the help of $110 million from the bank.
The World Bank claims that these regions, which have high dropout rates, enrolment rates that are below average, reading and math performance that is below average, and sizable indigenous populations, provide insights for educational improvement.
According to Sachiko Kataoka, senior economist at the World Bank, “concentrating educational interventions in these areas known to be among the poorest in Mindanao can have a powerful impact, providing opportunities for people and communities to improve their lives while also yielding valuable lessons for boosting the overall quality of education nationwide.”
The TEACEP will prioritize peacebuilding, gender-sensitive education, climate and disaster resilience, and inclusive education to strengthen literacy, numeracy, and socio-emotional abilities.
Additionally, training will be provided to school administrators and supervisors so they can support and mentor teachers more effectively.
Additionally, TEACEP will support giving students, instructors, and coaches iPads.
The project will support the broadcasting of radio-based lessons and television programs for “last-mile schools” in outlying and underserved areas, as well as provide solar-powered transistor radios with built-in lights that can help schools with limited access to electricity continue teaching even during weather-related emergencies.
Ndiamรฉ Diop, the World Bank’s country director for Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand, said TEACEP is a component of the bank’s ongoing assistance for the Philippines’ effort to increase human capital.
“Education is a key driver of development, as it equips people with the knowledge and skills they need to participate in the workforce, contribute to the economy, and improve their standard of living,” said Diop.
