LAGUINDINGAN, Misamis Oriental--Madrasah administrators converged in Lohas Hotel in this town for a two-day summit dubbed as Empowering Madrasah Educators (Empowering ME).

Nineteen administrators: eight from Maguindanao and Cotabato, six from Basilan and five from Lanao del Sur, participated in the gathering that aims to share the results of their impact projects, lessons, challenges and best practices through the United States (US) Embassy in the Philippines’ P12.7 million.


The event---organized by nongovernment organization Naawan Helps Empowers Liberates Protects Strengthens (Naawan HELPS)-Communities, Inc.--showcased the impact projects focused on improving the institutions’ school management practices, instructional quality and educational outcomes.

These administrators have previously participated in two five-day trainings, which was held in June 11-15 and July 5-9, on school management and education leadership emphasizing key American educational values of critical thinking, creativity, equality, inclusion and tolerance.

Part of which is designing impact projects that will be implemented in their respective Madrasah.

“This effort, along with the US Embassy’s training for Mindanaoan public school teachers through American English workshops and online courses, have assisted educators in Mindanao improve their students’ education and economic opportunities by enhancing the quality of instruction,” said Nina Lewis, Assistant Cultural Affairs Officer of the US Embassy in the Philippines.

For three years now, the US Embassy have already trained 225 Madrasah educators and 25 administrators to the program that focused on teaching skills for classroom teachers and providing materials on American English.

“The focus is on educating teachers on how to teach and on administrators that is something that we have added this year. Primarily it’s just support them in their classrooms and in managing schools,” Lewis added.
