Teachers are holding their kick-off ceremonies and finalizing learning materials as schools across Parañaque prepare for the National Learning Camp (NLC) on Tuesday, July 2.
Select students from Grades 1 to 3 and Junior High School lacking competencies in key subjects will be given learning intervention during the 3-week camp.
At Parañaque National High School – Main, one of Metro Manila’s densely populated high schools, students who have failed to excel in either Mathematics, Science, or English will be given focus in the activity.
According to Richie Belloy, focal person of the campus-wide NLC, while the actual teaching will be done inside the classroom, camp-like activities will be held outside. Moreover, she stressed the inclusion of ways that would help troubled learners cope with the needed skills through non-traditional methods, such as games.
Asked about the latest Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results, Assistant Principal Kirk Magdamit is optimistic that the camp would “fill the gap” in addressing the said concern.
School chief Gerry Lumaban admits the camp’s limitations given the limited, voluntary service of teachers compared to the entire population of the campus.
“There might be a possibility that we will be doing this school-based, where we can offer materials and activities for the succeeding semester as an intervention program,” Lumaban said. With Rolando Ng III
