DepEd gets usual support from Zambo LGU

TRUE TO her commitment, Zamboanga Mayor Beng Climaco has assured the local government’s support to the Department of Education (DepEd) in preparing for the new normal in education in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.

Climaco - an educator herself - reaffirmed her strong commitment to education, saying, it remains one of her top priority programs.

She also met recently with Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Roy Tuballa and other education officials and committed funds from the Special Education Fund for the preparation of learning materials under the DepEd’s blended learning modules. 

“As always we want to assist the DepEd and we want to provide the necessary measures for our teachers and facilitate the learning of our pupils which is the core of educative process,” said Climaco, who also chairs the Local School Board.

Late last year, Climaco donated over a dozen brand new, 43-inch Samsung full high definition television sets to the Santa Maria Central School Special Education Center after one of its students Jellyn Castillan wished that someone would donate a television for her class. And Jellyn had her wish come true.

It was an emotional moment not only for Jellyn and her classmates, but also the teachers at the school when Climaco handed over the televisions in a simple ceremony in September.
The digital televisions were all equipped with a pair of High-Definition Multimedia Interface ports and one Universal Serial Bus port. 

Climaco said the use of television as a tool for learning will make classroom activities more interesting, colorful and meaningful, and vowed to continue other educational programs to help improve the quality of education in Zamboanga.

And the good news did not stop there – Climaco, whose priorities include “education” – said at least 600 more brand new televisions are on their way to other School Special Education Centers to help and aid students in their class.

The local government appropriated some P1.9 billion for educational programs in the last 5 years as part of the Climaco’s flagship program on Security, Health and Education. (Zamboanga Post)
