Overview

As part of their comprehensive “Strengthening the Senior High” project, Programa Genio has also integrated teacher training in their initiatives. Modules and lessons under the teacher training component are based on a needs assessment conducted by the Programa Genio team.

Challenge

Recent reports and educational assessments such as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), shows the poor performance of Filipino students compared to the rest of the world. A significant contributing factor identified is inadequate teacher training, evidenced by teachers’ insufficient grasp of modern pedagogical methods to address diverse learning needs, and limited exposure to innovative teaching tools and approaches.

Solution

Programa Genio conducts teacher training to upskill and reskill teachers to better respond to the needs of the students, adapt to the changing norms in education, and use tools that can make teaching and learning more efficient. The goal is to help teachers build a student-centered classroom which will equip the students with the skills to pursue their chosen pathway. Programa Genio also provides mental and emotional wellness workshops to support the teachers’ wellbeing.

Overview

Since its inception, Programa Genio has been focused on its mission on H-ealth, E-ducation, and A-ccess to equity in quality education, reaffirms hopes and dreams for a better tomorrow. Beyond the “Strengthening the Senior High” project, they also offer learning opportunities to underserved fellow Filipinos, such as out-of-school-youth and adult learners through Alternative Learning Education.

Challenge

Many Filipinos, especially those from marginalized and underserved groups, don’t get the chance to enter or finish formal basic education for a variety of reasons. Traditional education systems struggle to accommodate diverse learning needs, leading to a high number of dropouts and out-of-school-youth-and-adults.

Solution

To address the above challenge, Programa Genio’s Alternative Learning Education project has two components:

1. The Alternative Learning Education component provides opportunities for out-of-school youth and adult learners to develop basic and functional literacy skills and to access equivalent pathways to complete basic education. This can be done by upskilling and reskilling teachers and learners through training.

2.The Functional Education and Literacy component is designed to provide intensive community-based literacy training for illiterate out-of-school youth and adults from the poorest segment of society with educational programs specifically designed to foster development of basic level reading, writing and computing skills integrated with expressed priority learning needs.

To come to terms with the new normal and to accommodate those in the far-flung areas, the training can be conducted either face-to-face, virtually, or a different approach that can make it accessible to the learners.

Impact of your donation

Your support will go to providing necessary equipment, and training teachers and willing learners from the marginalized and underserved communities to overcome barriers to education.

Overview

Programa Genio envisions to bring out the genius in every Filipino child it helps. In pursuit of this vision and through numerous engagements with their partner schools, Programa Genio has identified the need to provide senior high school students with the essential tools and materials that will enrich their learning experience.

Challenge

Institutional reports have shown that the Philippines is unable to fully cope with the demands of its Senior High School program due to a lack of essential educational resources such as internet, digital tools, quipment in technical vocational education and training, and more. This hinders the effective learning and skill development of students, regardless of their chosen strand or pathway.

Solution

With the help of school divisions and partners, Programa Genio identifies the equipment necessary for learning enrichment and accessibility and provides the necessary equipment. These include equipment such as risographs for module distribution, tablets for distance learning, computers to enhance the students’ Information and Communication Technology (ICT) strand, and more.

Impact of your donation

Your contribution will help Programa Genio provide essential equipment to senior high students, fostering enriched learning experiences and equitable skill development.
