In partnership with the BDO Foundation Inc. and Huawei Technologies Phils. Inc., DepEd said that that the Search for the Best Supplemental Learning Materials in the Teaching of Defined Key Concepts in Science and Mathematics was launched to further strengthen the importance of financial literacy among students.

“We are glad, and we fully support that we are including financial literacy,” said Education Secretary Leonor Briones.

“We are trying to teach our learners the basic concepts of financial literacy so that they will also know how to manage their finances, especially in these trying times,” she added.

DepEd said that the Search for the Best Supplemental Learning Materials (SLM) aims to foster “innovation, creativity, and flexibility” for the teachers and integrate financial literacy concepts in basic education curriculum.

“The winning SLMs will be added to the roster of SLMs that can be used by other teachers to capacitate learners on the importance of budgeting and saving,” DepEd said.

The Search is open to all Science and Mathematics teachers in public and private, elementary or junior high.

The deadline for submission for regional entries will be on Jan. 15, 2022 while national entries should be submitted on Jan. 31, 2022.

DepEd said that the judging period will commence from Feb. 7 to April 8, 2022 while the deliberation will be from April 18 to 22, 2022.

The awarding of winners will be on April 29, 2022, DepEd said.

For BDO Foundation Chief Teresita Sy-Coson, Math and Science provide the basics in life and also the steps to enjoy art.

“The initiatives on working on this project with Huawei is an efficient way on spreading the education in Science and Math, and also financial literacy which is of paramount importance to our economy,” she said.

Huawei Vice President Daniel Guo also shared that part of Huawei’s mission is to bring digital technology to every home and organization to be fully connected.

“We would like to continue this CSR program in the hopes that more people will benefit from it in the future,” he added.

Meanwhile, Undersecretary for Curriculum and Instruction Diosdado San Antonio and Undersecretary for Legislative Affairs, External Partnerships and Project Management Service Tonisito Umali thanked the BDO Foundation and Huawei for the said initiative.

Both organizations, San Antonio said, have been “very aggressive in the efforts to make sure that appropriate learning resources and incentives are provided so that our fellow teachers will find innovative ways to teach financial literacy.”
