COTABATO CITY — As in-person classes in the country will soon resume, Bangsamoro lawmakers reiterated the importance of implementing a learning intervention program for struggling students in the region.
Under Parliament Bill 209, the
program will be known as the Supplemental Academic Learning Amelioration
Program (SALAP), which aims to improve the learning competencies of students
and boost their confidence as they transition from lower to higher grades.
The program will implement
well-systematized tutorial sessions to ensure mastery of essential competencies
covering the subjects of language and mathematics for Grades 1 to 12 and
science for Grades 3 to 12.
Reading will be prioritized to
develop the critical and analytical skills of learners. Program’s tutors will
also focus on building foundation skills to strengthen the literacy and
numeracy competencies of kindergarten learners.
The measure allows tutorial sessions
covering the most essential learning competencies under the K to 12 Basic
Education Curriculum to be conducted in three modalities to ensure
accessibility for learners: face-to-face, online, and blended learning.
Students who will undergo
supplemental classes under the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical
Education include incoming grade one, first-year high school or college
students; learners lagging academically; and marginally below the minimum level
of mastery in language, mathematics, and science subjects.
Meanwhile, tutors will also undergo
adequate training on innovative instructional techniques, interpersonal skills,
social-emotional learning, and cultural competency and will receive
compensation from MBHTE and the Ministry of Finance.
MP Don Loong, along with the other 22 co-authors, introduced the proposed measure. (LTAIS-Public Information, Publication, and Media Relations Division)
