DEPED INTRODUCES SCHOOL RECOVERY KIT
THE DEPARTMENT of Education has introduced a school recovery kit designed to ensure uninterrupted learning for students and teachers during emergencies and disasters.
Called EduKahon, the school recovery kit was launched during Education Secretary Sonny Angara’s visit to Tabaco National High School in Albay on Thursday.
The kits provide immediate replacements for lost school supplies and learning materials, support teaching and learning in evacuation centers and temporary learning spaces, and strengthen DepEd’s disaster response efforts.
“Ang ating mga mag-aaral at guro ang unang naaapektuhan tuwing may sakuna. Sa pamamagitan ng EduKahon, tinitiyak natin na tuloy ang pag-aaral ng mga bata at hindi mapuputol ang kanilang progreso sa kabila ng mga pangyayari,” Education Secretary Sonny Angara said.
The EduKahon will be distributed in three levels:
School Kit for immediate school recovery and temporary learning spaces
Teacher Kit for instructional support
Learner Kit for continued access to basic learning materials
Each kit is designed to support one teacher and 40 students, containing essential supplies such as pencils, notebooks, rulers, erasers, scissors, laminated posters (alphabet, multiplication, and number tables), books, hygiene kits, and first aid kits.
