MALUNGON, Sarangani (July 15, 2009) – The town’s performance and implementation of Quality Education for Sarangani Today (QUEST)project has been gaining more assistance from the private sector.
In his state of education address at the QUEST’s Education Road Show and Summit on July 7, Mayor Reynaldo Constantino lauded private sector-partnership by the local government in uplifting their children’s education.“However, looking carefully at the school’s unique and difficult situations and circumstances, it’s totally a different story,”Constantino said.
But Governor Migs Dominguez and the provincial government committed to provide an additional 50 provincial-paid teachers “to ensure that education reaches the town’s farthest schools”.“Our promise is never to leave a single child behind in our quest foreducation,” Dominguez said.
Cecile Dominguez, executive director of the Alcantara Foundation (AF) said the provincial government together with the AF will provide workbooks for all grade 1 pupils at 1:1 pupil-workbook ratio.
Sagittarius Mines Inc., who provided workbooks for Grade I last year,will now provide workbooks for all Grade II pupils and manuals for teachers.
UnionBank's “As A Filipno” reading program which began last school year continues its support by giving again workbooks for all Grade IIpupils, a story book per section, and lesson plan guide for the teachers.
AF initiated and facilitates linkages for the Education for All (EFA)campaign in Malungon and in the province with partners such as Synergeia Foundation, Union Bank, Sagittarius Mines Inc. and the Department of Education.
The QUEST project is a learning technology from Synergeia Foundation implemented in Sarangani.
The day’s summit conducted plenary workshops for teachers and parents.“Education starts at home,” Cecile Dominguez said.

“Let’s not waste time, let us support the government in their programsand let us also support our children towards their future by checkingtheir progress in school,” Grade I parent Lalaine Decenorio said.(Russtum G. Pelima/SARANGANI INFORMATION OFFICE)
