Launching Peace Education 📚✌️
In May, HWPL’s Philippine branch announced peace education textbooks for Southern Leyte, the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region, and Laguna Province. They aim to sign an agreement with the Philippine Department of Education to spread peace education nationwide.
Southern Leyte’s Pilot Classes 🏫✨
Southern Leyte’s Department of Education created localized HWPL peace education textbooks and held pilot classes. This was inspired by the peace textbooks for Bangsamoro, introduced at the Bangsamoro Peace Education Conference in January.
The 1st Bangsamoro Peace Education Conference 🎉📖
On January 29, the first Bangsamoro Peace Education Conference took place in Mindanao. Co-hosted by the Department of Education in Cotabato City and HWPL, the conference showcased peace education textbooks with Islamic values. They showed how these textbooks could be used from Grade 1 to Grade 12 through demo classes.
The Peace Education Conference was attended by a total of 668 participantsincluding five high-ranking government officials such as the Minister of Basic, Higher, and Technical Education of Bangsamoro, 50 principals of elementary, middle, and high schools under the Department of Education in Cotabato City, and approximately 613 faculty members.
Looking Ahead 🌟🚀
The Ministry of Basic, Higher, and Technical Education (MBHTE) will validate the textbook. Once approved, it will be distributed to about 4,000 schools, bringing peace education to around 1.26 million students in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region.
We hope this news will be of great help to you in your quest for peace. We are connected everywhere. Peace is possible, if we bring our minds together.
Peace is up to you :0 Good luck!
A beautiful post. My heart holds out hope of a better future for my children and their children. This work of peace is not a small feat. Thank you, HWPL, for all your efforts in bringing light to this dim and dark world – you represent the voices of those who have no voice to speak out at all the injustices committed against humanity. History will undoubtedly thank the efforts of individuals like yourself. We really are at a crossroads in History. In the words of Chairman Lee, who has been working for the cessation of global conflict and creation of sustainable peace, “It is time for the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) to be submitted to the United Nations.”
