COTABATO CITY—As the academic year begins, BARMM’s Ministry of Basic, Higher, and Technical Education (MBHTE) urged educational institutions and stakeholders to promote collaboration in fostering a culture of respect and ensuring a safe learning environment.
The region’s Education Minister Mohagher Iqbal stressed the importance of having a safe and secure school environment for the thriving Bangsamoro learners.
“Sa pagbubukas ng klase ngayong taon, nais ko pong bigyang-diin ang kahalagahan ng pagkakaroon ng ligtas at maayos na kapaligiran sa mga paaralan. Layunin ng MBHTE na gawing isang mapagkalingang tahanan ang ating mga paaralan, kung saan ang bawat mag-aaral ay makakaranas ng pagkatuto na malaya sa takot at pangamba,” Iqbal said on August 29.
“Napakahalaga na maging bukas tayo sa mga pagbabago at pagpapaunlad upang mapanatili nating kaabang-abang at makabuluhan ang bawat araw sa paaralan. Nawa’y magkaroon tayo ng malasakit sa isa’t isa, magtulungan, at magtaguyod ng kultura ng respeto at pang-unawa,” he added.
Apart from promoting the safety of education stakeholders during the resumption of classes, MBHTE also conducted a series of distribution of teachers’ and learners’ kits.
Meanwhile, Rustom Ampatuan Jr., 15, a Humanities and Social Science (HUMSS) student, thanked the Government for the Day for being committed to improving learning environments and providing essential learning materials to support their studies.
“Bilang isang mag-aaral, napakalaking tulong ang mga ipinapakitang supports ng BARMM government para sa Bangsamoro kaya nagpapasalamat ako sa tuloy-tuloy nilang pamamahagi ng mga learning kits para hindi na po kami bumili at gumasto sa mga kagamitan,” Ampatuan said. (Johaira Sahidala/BIO)
