MisOcc prov’l school board OKs P55-M special educ fund for 2024

 


The Provincial School Board has approved the P55 million fund allocation for the special education program this year, ensuring the teaching and learning resources will be maximized.

The approval of the Special Education Fund (SEF) stemmed from the board's commitment to enhancing the education system in the province.

The board, headed by Governor Henry S. Oaminal, has earmarked the SEF allocation intended for various initiatives aimed at elevating the quality of education in the entire Misamis Occidental.

There were allocations dedicated to strengthening teachers' capacities in integrating educational technology into teaching and learning processes.

The PSB’s approval of the SEF also includes the modernization of teaching approaches, recognizing the importance of equipping educators with the necessary skills to navigate the digital landscape.

The budget will also fund the procurement of books and information technology (IT) equipment, as well as specialized apparatus for subjects like Science, Physical Education, Journalism, and the Arts.

The board aims to provide students with easy access to up-to-date learning materials and tools, fostering a conducive environment for academic growth and innovation.

Governor Oaminal, known for his unwavering advocacy for children's rights, stressed the importance of a transformative, comprehensive, and holistic education system in shaping responsible and capable citizens of the country.

The board vowed to prioritize investments in education, particularly for those residing in underserved areas, as it aims “to create a level playing field and empower every student to unleash their full potential.”

The approved budget will also cover the province’s initiatives for Sports Development Training as well as participation in prestigious events such as the Palarong Pampook and Pambansa.

The provincial government stressed these initiatives “not only promote physical health and well-being but also instill values of teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship among the youth.”

Earlier this year, the province achieved a significant milestone in hosting the first-ever One Asenso Misamis Occidental Provincial Meet—staging the formation of one sports team representing the province in regional and national sports competitions.

The PSB is promoting educational excellence and inclusivity. Hence, to ensure there will be no let up in the province’s goal to provide quality education for all Misamisnons.

With Governor Oaminal at the helm, the “province is poised to witness transformative changes that will positively impact the lives of the current and new generations.”(PGMO)
