Parents and students set up camp along the sidewalks near the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) main office in Batasan, Quezon City on midnight of Aug. 20, 2022 as they queue for the start of distribution of the agency’s educational assistance program in preparation for the new school year. The educational assistance program aims to provide financial aid to eligible student beneficiaries which they can use for various school necessities. Some individuals started lining up as early as Friday for the payout which will be given to "students-in-crisis" until September 24. The STAR / Miguel de Guzman MANILA, Philippines — After crowding and long lines during the payout of cash aid last Saturday, the Department of Social Welfare and Development said it will adjust how it will distribute money for indigent students over the next six weekends. Speaking on CNN Philippines' "The Source", Social Welfare Secretary Erwin Tulfo said the DSWD is hoping to tap local government units and considering use of an alphabetical list for the payouts. "We will try to adapt. We will send our own people, social workers to the municipalities and the cities," Tulfo said in mixed Filipino and English as he disclosed that the DSWD would soon sign a memorandum of agreement with the Department of the Interior and Local Government for its Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations.

A teacher watches her students pray inside their classroom at the start of classes at a school in Quezon City, suburban Manila on August 22, 2022 as millions of children in the Philippines returned to school as the academic year started on August 22, with many taking their seats in classrooms for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic hit. AFP / Ted Aljibe MANILA, Philippines — The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) is calling on the government to implement the “RAPID” learning recovery framework as children go back to in-person classes this school year. The framework entails education stakeholders to work together to: Reach every child and retain them in school: Stakeholders are called on to promote the return of in-person learning, provide cash transfers to poor families, and warn “at-risk students” early on in their education. Assess learning levels regularly: This would allow stakeholders to look at learning losses at the national and the sub-national level. However, this would also require tools for classroom level measurement for teachers. Prioritize teaching the fundamentals: There would be an effort to adjust the educational curriculum within subjects with an emphasis on numeracy, literacy, and socio-emotional skills. Increase catch-up learning and progress beyond what was lost: This would entail self-guided learning and targetted instruction, among others. Develop psychosocial health and well-being so every child is ready to learn: This means more investments in both teachers' and students’ needs.
