ComVal to gather partners for “Bayanihan Para Sa Karunungan”

COMPOSTELA VALLEY PROVINCE, Nov. 28 -----The provincial government now prepares for a Partners’ Forum on November 29, 2013 at the Capitol dubbed as Bayanihan Para sa Karunungan Program.

Inviting local leaders, business executives, and other guests, the event seeks to find partners of the Provincial Local Government Unit in supporting the Department of Education (DepEd) provide quality education through in-school reading interventions packaged with series of valuable programs and sessions.

While the province has been constructing classroom-buildings patterned in the GK way (bayanihan), Governor Arturo T. Uy also finds reading an aspect of equal importance in giving quality education to the youngsters in their early years in school.

Senior Board Member Tyron L. Uy who chairs the Committee on Education and Information Technology of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan also shared the same vision of creating an environment conducive to the development of reading aptitude for children.

The provincial government has embarked on programs related to reading improvement and comprehension of school children.  Compostela Valley Transforming Education Today or COMET is a reading initiative in partnership with the Alcantara Foundation under their corporate social responsibility and with the province’s existing public-private-partnership.  Project ARTURO (Accelerated Readers, Tomorrow’s Ultimate Response to Opportunities) on the other hand, is a reading development program in close partnership with the DepEd, focusing on a child’s reading skills and comprehension.  It is also a support of the provincial government to the national advocacy of making “Every Child A Reader.”

“Bayanihan Para Sa Karunungan” is a realization of making these aforementioned reading programs to be part of the “Kalinga sa Kabataan” Program of Governor Uy.  And as public-private-partnership is visibly practiced in the province, this endeavor is another venue for generous partner-donors to share the glory of building a brighter future for the Comvalenyo children.  (Grace Almedilla, IDS-Comval)
