CAMIGUIN (PIA)–Striving to foster a holistic development among learners, Gov. Jurdin Jesus Romualdo says he’s aiming to implement the values formation program in the province during the Department of Education (DepEd) National Joint Executive Committee and Management Conference Governor’s Night, April 28 at the new Provincial Capitol Building, here. 

“There is one thing that I really want to do for the kids and the young ones all over the country, sayang lang (yet we are unfortunate) because of COVID. First year high school pa lang (when) we already have this Freshman Formation Program in which it can really help the teachers, the students what will become in their future if they proceed in studying,” Romualdo said.

Heeding the governor’s challenge to the department, DepEd Sec. Leonor Briones said it is high time that the country should restore the practice of training the children, emphasizing also that children should not only be adept in technology, science, scientific matters, mathematics but also in always recognizing their roots. 

“We should never, never forget and you should always remind your children that wherever they are, your children, your constituents, are from Camiguin with a distinct identity, with a distinct history, with a distinct culture and with very special characteristics, which we all appreciate,” Briones said. 

Also, with the advances of technology where everyone can gain knowledge from different sources, the secretary emphasized that the entire world becomes everybody’s school. Thus, a balance has to be crafted between the many ways of teaching and learning. 

She also added that the most important thing now is to prepare the children to accept, deal and manage change in addition to memorizing multiplication tables. 

“What is important is to be taught how to think critically, to work with different groups of people, and to find solutions to the problems of our country,” Briones said.

Even with the hurdles in attaining a good education system in the country, Rep. Xavier Jesus Romualdo still lauded DepEd for their accomplishments, especially with how they handled the challenges brought about by the pandemic.

“Under the leadership of the secretary and despite all the criticisms being hurled, the usual thing that we experience in government, you did a very good job that is something that many of us in Congress truly appreciate,” the representative added.

Currently, 1,735 schools have already opened face-to-face classes in the region, 1,704 for public schools and 31 private schools.

“And we are very proud that Camiguin is one of the divisions that have opened all their schools. Camiguin is just a small provincial schools division but the 55 elementary schools and the 13 high schools have already opened their classes,” DepEd-10 Regional Director Arturo Bayocot said.
