DepEd, led by Education Secretary Sonny Angara, and the Ministry of Basic, Higher, and Technical Education (MBHTE) in BARMM, led by Minister Mohagher M. Iqbal, signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to implement the Teacher Effectiveness and Competencies Enhancement Project (TEACEP).

The signing ceremony was held at the DepEd Central Office in Pasig City.

Equitable access to teaching

Developed in collaboration with the World Bank, TEACEP is designed to support DepEd’s initiative to improve the quality of education and equitable access to teaching from Kindergarten to Grade 6 through enhanced teacher professional development training.

DepEd stated that the project focuses on boosting teacher effectiveness—particularly in literacy and numeracy—by providing in-service training for teachers.

The program also incorporates a coaching and instructional leadership model to foster professional growth among teachers and school leaders.

DepEd noted that TEACEP is closely aligned with the Basic Education Development Plan 2030 (BEDP 2030) and the National Learning Recovery Program (NLRP), which address the educational challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Moreover, DepEd mentioned that TEACEP will support BARMM’s contextualized education initiatives, such as the Bangsamoro Education Reform and Development Plan (BERDP) and the Bangsamoro Development Plan (BDP), to strengthen the region's capacity to deliver effective teaching and learning resources.

DepEd explained that the MOA outlines three main components of the project: enhancing teaching practices for teachers and school leaders, providing adequate resources for effective teaching and learning, and establishing a robust framework for project management, monitoring, and evaluation.

As an initial step under Component 1, BARMM will identify public elementary school teachers (Kindergarten to Grade 6), school heads, Education Program Supervisors (EPS), and Public Schools District Supervisors (PSDS) who will participate in the training.

DepEd added that TEACEP will be funded through a loan agreement between the Government of the Philippines, represented by DepEd, and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD).
