(OVP photo) Duterte went to Brunei in her capacity as Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) Council President, which will see her visit the member-states to learn about their best practices in education. In a Facebook post, the Vice President shared photos of their meeting. “Ipinahayag natin ang ating paghanga sa integrasyon ng teknolohiya sa kanilang curriculum at sa mga innovation na ipinapatupad upang mapaniguro na ang mga mag-aaral ay may kakayahan at kasanayan sa pagbasa, pagsulat, at pakikipag-usap (We expressed our admiration for the integration of technology in their curriculum and the innovations they implement to ensure that learners have the capacity and experience in reading, writing, and speaking),” she wrote. Duterte also said that she and Salleh discussed her observations about the Sekolah Rendah Pusar Ulak, Seri Mulia Sarjana International School and SEAMEO Vocational and Technical Education (VOCTECH) Regional Center which she visited on Monday, June 12. As the Philippines’ education chief, the official launched the Department of Education’s (DepEd) “MATATAG: Bansang Makabata, Batang Makabansa” program, which aims to resolve the challenges of basic education in the country. (Photo from Inday Sara Duterte via Facebook) Among the thrusts of the program is the use of technology in combatting education gaps, particularly in far-flung areas. In her Basic Education Report (BER) for 2023, Duterte enumerated the four critical components of the MATATAG program—make the curriculum relevant to produce job-ready citizens, take steps to accelerate the delivery of quality basic education, take good care of learners by promoting their well-being, and give support to teachers. The official said she also took the opportunity during her meeting with Salleh to thank the Brunei government for welcoming her delegation, as well as for the successful celebration of the 125th Philippine Independence Day hosted by the Philippine Embassy in Brunei. The Vice President took part in the festivities organized by the embassy as she thanked the overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) there for their contributions to the economy.
