On November 15, 2024, a pivotal meeting took place, bringing together key organizations and stakeholders focused on transforming education and empowering communities.
The meeting, which involved Yellow Boat of Hope, AHA Learning Center, San Miguel Foundation, Ateneo Learning and Teaching Excellence Center (ALTEC), and the Department of Education (DepEd), aimed to explore collaborative efforts to address the barriers that limited educational access, particularly in underserved and remote areas.
Each organization brought its unique strengths to the table: Yellow Boat of Hope and San Miguel Foundation focused on providing mobility solutions for students in isolated regions, while AHA Learning Center offered innovative learning methodologies, and Ateneo Learning and Teaching Excellence Center worked on community development projects. DepEd played a crucial role in identifying teachers who would benefit from professional development opportunities and integrating cutting-edge educational tools to enhance teaching and learning practices. This partnership sought to create actionable programs that would make quality education more accessible, ensure the inclusion of marginalized communities, and empower both students and educators alike.
With shared goals and resources, this meeting sparked a wave of impactful initiatives that would foster positive, long-term change in the education sector.
