BARMM pushes for quality education and advanced skills development in the region

Cotabato City —The Bangsamoro Government's Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE) is set to create a complete and integrated system of quality education and skills development in the Bangsamoro region.

Mohagher Iqbal, minister of education, announced this in his speech during the graduation ceremony of 993 trainees of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority – Regional Manpower Development Center (TESDA – RMDC) held on Wednesday, December 18, 2019 at Barangay Rebuken, Sultan Kudarat in Maguindanao.

He stressed that one of the MBHTE's responsibilities is advancing professional education and technical skills development in the Bangsamoro region, and that part of it is to focus on the creation of a system that will help in giving the quality education that every Bangsamoro deserves.

"We shall push for strategies and programs that would create higher esteem for the vocational curriculum and promote professional training as a viable option for potential learner," Iqbal said.

Iqbal also emphasized the MBHTE's efforts which resulted to significant changes in the education sector since its creation.

“We have reshuffled schools division superintendents—a first time in more than 30 years, and increased the salaries of contractual employees (from an average salary of PhP7,000 to PhP10,500),” he said.

He also recalled that BARMM’s delegation in the ‘2019 Palarong Pambansa’ garnered three (3) gold medals, six (6) bronze medals and ten (10) silver medals.

Iqbal expressed optimism that the Bangsamoro Government will eventually meet its goal of producing professionals in every Bangsamoro family, noting "a meaningful change is coming in BARMM. It began when we promised to pursue moral governance in the Bangsamoro."

The MBHTE-BARMM aims to establish an educational system that exemplifies a high standard with a balanced, comprehensive, and inclusive academic program, supported by robust infrastructure, including better school facilities and competent teachers and education managers, as part of the Bangsamoro Organic Law.

BARMM holds 1st food security summit

Cotabato City —The Bangsomoro Government's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Agrarian Reform (MAFAR) spearheaded the conduct of the first ‘Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) Food Security Summit’ on December 10 to 12, 2019 in Cotabato City.

The summit, in partnership with the Department of Agriculture (DA) – Halal Food Industry Development Program, carries the theme, "Bangsamoro ay Paunlarin: Masaganang Ani, Mataas na Kita, Halal at Organikong Pagkain ay Siguruhin.”

According to MAFAR minister Mohammad Yacob, the summit aimed to discussed the current challenges affecting food security, presentation of programs and projects that are geared towards addressing the challenges, and bringing together support and agreements to pave way for a profitable agriculture and fishery sector.

“We have carried out the development of the first Bangsamoro security road map - envisioning a self-reliant, food secure and resilient Bangsamoro. […] This will ensure that food is accessible, available, utilized and stable for every Bangsamoro,” Yacob said.

He also said the road map is anchored in three (3) pillars of food security— sustainable, competitive, and accessible food supply chain for the Bangsamoro.
He emphasized that there should be “balanced intake of halal food and adaptive capacity of Bangsamoro communities”.

MAFAR plays the major role in the promotion of sustainable agri-fishery growth and development, equitable land distribution and tenurial security in the Bangsamoro region.
One of the highlights of the activity was the display of thirty-two (32) exhibits that featured various agricultural crops and products from all over the Bangsamoro region.

The program, which aims to boost the awareness of the young children on the significance of growing vegetables, is expected to be established in 200 schools in BARMM.

Under this project, vegetables should be organically-grown in plots and in empty containers to minimize expenses. It seeks to supplement the food given to students in the school’s supplemental feeding program.
