REX Bookstore, leading learning solutions provider of books, digital and assessment tools, went recently to Catanduanes to donate learning materials to two schools in the province, which is among the most badly hit by Typhoons “Rolly” and “Ulysses.” The donation was REX Bookstore’s answer to the call of the Department of Education (DepEd) under its flagship “Sulong Edukalidad” program that sought greater stakeholder support.
The four truckloads of learning materials that cover Math, Science, Filipino and Araling Panlipunan, all evaluated and certified by the DepEd’s Bureau of Curriculum Development and worth more than P8 million, went straight to the schools—the Virac Pilot Elementary School and the Catanduanes National High School.
The learning materials come with a “HOMES” (Home-based Opportunity for Mentoring Every Student) Guide, a learning companion that covers Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) from DepEd and customizes user experience for parents, students, and teachers, and is available for Grades 1 to 12 and also Senior High School (SHS) core and SHS-applied subjects.
This donation drive by REX is part of its “Edukampyon” initiative that calls for everyone—teachers, students, school administrators, parents, guardians, and partners—to ensure that every learner is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, challenged and values-oriented.
