The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Department of Education (DepEd) launched on Wednesday a tutoring program that would provide financial aid to underprivileged college students by teaching grade schoolers who were struggling or unable to read.
The initiative was a reformatted educational assistance program of the DSWD, aiming to help struggling or non-readers from Grade 1 to Grade 2 who are vulnerable or affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and, at the same time, give assistance to third- and fourth-year college students from low-income families who will teach the children.
Duterte said that this was a response to the challenge of supplemental learning through tutoring outside of the hours designated for classroom learning. Meanwhile, Gatchalian said that the pilot run of the tutoring program would be conducted in the National Capital Region for the remainder of 2023 and may be expanded to other regions in the coming years.
Topics include understanding oneself as a parent, the dynamics of the Filipino family, challenges in parenting, child development, and children's rights, among others.
