Wellness in Education: PHL DepEd explores innovations to support schoolchildren of Indigenous Peoples (IPs)

"Sponsored by the Philippines’ Response to Indigenous Peoples’ and Muslim Education (PRIME) Program, the exhibit dubbed “Bunsód: Katutubong Dunong Pagtuturo Pagkatuto” is also in observance of the National Indigenous Peoples’ Month.
“As a response to our commitment to make education universal and inclusive, DepEd has been extending efforts to cross the boundaries on culture, tradition, and religion,” said Education Secretary Armin Luistro. Luistro added that the DepEd, with assistance from the Australian government, is making quality education more accessible to indigenous people through PRIME.
“While this PRIME project is a big boost to the Education for All goal of the department, it is, more importantly, the government’s way of responding to the needs of Indigenous Peoples and Muslim communities for relevant and responsive basic education, one that removes barriers to meaningful participation in society and empowers learners to exercise their rights and duties as Filipino citizens,” he expressed."
