MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Education (DepEd) has distributed learning materials, teaching supplies, and digital resources to students and teachers in typhoon-affected areas in Camarines Sur. Education Secretary Sonny Angara on Thursday said that the distribution was only the initial step, as the Department of Education (DepEd) plans to implement more measures to help schools recover from the impact of recent typhoons. “Kami po sa DepEd, initial visit pa lang po ito. Asahan po ninyo ang mga darating pang aksyon. Makakaasa po kayo na patuloy naming isusulong ang de-kalidad na edukasyon para sa bawat bata,” Angara said during his visit to  the province. (This is only DepEd’s initial visit. You can expect more action in the coming days. Rest assured, we will continue to advocate for quality education for every child.) He added that DepEd is monitoring the situation of various schools ravaged by floods such as Minalabac National High School. The DepEd reported that two other schools also received donations from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). “Gainza Central School received donations from UNICEF that included teaching packs, student kits, classroom materials, and digital tools to aid in learning recovery,” DepEd’s statement read. “Bula Central School, meanwhile, received learning packs and whiteboards from USAID’s Advancing Basic Education in the Philippines (ABC+) Project,” it added.

Angara also inaugurated Camarines Sur’s first learning and development center for teachers, the Academy of Inclusive Learning and Development or iLEAD. “The center will offer training programs for professional growth, allowing educators to customize their learning paths,” Angara said.
