(In) a bid to strengthen the implementation of Tahderiyyah (pre-school) Program, an Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) services and Basic Education in conflict affected areas in Mindanao, the Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA) and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) conducted “Tahderiyyah Teachers Assessment Workshop.”
The activity was held simultaneously on September 23 to 25, 2013 in six regions namely: Central Mindanao, Southern Mindanao, Ranaw, Zamboanga Peninsula, Zamboanga and Basilan, and Davao Region Psyche Vetta G. Olayvar, Education Specialist from UNICEF Philippine Country Office said the assessment is very important so that they will know how to strengthen the implementation of the program in 313 private Madaris (plural for Madrasa or Islamic school).
Started in 2009, Tahderiyyah Program is a joint effort of BDA and UNICEF. The program developed the Tahderiyyah Curriculum which blends Universal Values and the principles/science of ECCD, supports the advocacy and mandates of the Education for All (EFA) and the Basic Education Sector Reform Agenda (BESRA) of the Department of Education (DepEd).
Olayvar said, “It is important that we draw issues and concerns faced by Tahderriyah teachers as basis to improve the second phase of program implementation.”
The education specialist also cited the important role being played by Development Catalysts, volunteers which handles social mobilization and supervision of Tahderiyyah sites.
She added that the workshop result will be presented to BDA, UNICEF and Australian Aid for International Development (AusAID) as bases for the planning in moving forward.
The Tahderiyyah Teachers from six regions were invited to provide inputs to the workshop.
The participants aired their recommendations on how to strengthen collaboration with the local stakeholders in order to sustain the Madaris operations.
They also noted that kids under Tahderiyyah program learn proper dress code, being courteous, and memorize verses from the Holy Qur’an.
The teachers are confident that the preschoolers will grow as “productive and responsible citizens of the country.”
Aside from developing the curriculum, Tahderiyyah program includes teaching enhancement training for the teachers, training for administering schools for the Mudir (school administrator), feeding, and provision of teaching materials.
Tahderriyah Curriculum was already recognized by DepEd, thus preschoolers who graduated from Madaris which adopt such curriculum are admissible to elementary.
